Today, my sister found out she contracted ringworm and scabies from her best friend's rescued kittens. The entire family now has to be treated to prevent it from spreading. There are 7 people in our house and none of us have health insurance. FML

Today, our new cat, which my mum was hesitant about letting us keep because she believes they're diseased, gave us all ringworm. FML
Today, I found out that people can get ringworm from cats. I found out because I have ringworm. I don't have a cat. Then I remembered I helped a friend move about two weeks ago, and spent the night sharing a bed with her cat. That's the last time I ever help her move. FML
Today, I was woken up at 2 in the morning by my wife frantically saying something about her having scabies, and that I had to take her to the ER. It turned out to be eczema. FML
Today, even though I'm the most neat freak germophobe there is, I was diagnosed with scabies. FML
Today, my sister is nursing an injured cat back to health in our home because she accidentally hit it with her car. Now I can't decide which is contributing more to my insomnia: the incessant meowing, or the constant itching because our house is infested with fleas. FML
Today, my sister had a friend for a sleepover. They filmed a video in which the friend was lying in my bed, singing. An hour after the girl went home, her parents called. She has lice, and had brought them to our house unknowingly. I can see each and every individual larva on my pillow. FML
Today, I decided to go thrifting to save some money. Ironically, I ended up having to pay for an emergency trip to the hospital because somebody was too lazy to wash the cat hair off their clothes. I'm severely allergic to cats. FML
Today, a friend who visited me a week ago with "allergy rashes" told me that it's actually scabies, and she hopes I didn't catch it from her. It takes 2-6 weeks for the symptoms to show and I can't use the medication for it anyway because I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I'm feeling extremely sick and itchy. I'd bought rats as pets to help with my anxiety, and they gave me ringworm. I now have ringworm in about nine places on my body, including my face. I don’t know which one is worse, being dizzy from the medication or the itching. I’m feeling more anxious than ever. FML
Today, my four roommates and I contracted lice. While all our heads were slathered in mayonnaise and saran wrap, our building's fire alarm went off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

just keep your distance and stay clean. worst case scenario. just the ones showing signs of infection need to be treated.

She did a good deed. Look online for home remedies. If not, ERs can't refuse you treatment even without the ability to pay. I would use that as a last ditch effort though.

33, emergency rooms are for emergencies, not for people who can't navigate their way to a clinic... The Internet is a good suggestion though..

They'll still send creditors after you if you don't pay though and hurt your credit score.

While you're in the ER waiting on medical treatment for your searing stomach pain, ask the dumbass that swerved to miss the lizard if it was worth it.

This would be why I love Canada, free health care.
Southpaw7391 3
your health care isn't free, HST tax, 30% higher prices on EVERYTHING. etc. you all have health care which is great, but it's certainly NOT free
FliPsliCE 3
nothing is free dumbass. you just pay more in taxes.

so healthcare is still free but other stuff is just more expensive to pay for healthcare so it seems like there is free healthcare which is just as good as it being free to us
kristalyn 2
yes I know it is not free and our taxes are higher but at least in Canada when we go to hospitals we don't have to worry about paying the bill that comes after. Even if you are poor and need an expensive operation you won't be worrying about how you are going to pay.

If there are 7 people in your house, my guess would be at least one or two of them are under eighteen, which would make them eligible for the CHIP program or whatever they call it now. And then steal their meds.

Cats are gross.

Well, I'm sure they don't like you either.

there is no way possible for a human to get scabies from an animal but regardless cats still suck
Glockinator 2
whoever told you that you need to be treated should be fired so I hope it wasn't a doctor and it was just your friend or sister because humans cannot get scabies from animals and animals cannot get them from humans. they are different and die within 24hr should it get on you. which for you would mean no treatment. http://www.headlice.org/faq/scabies.htm above is a site that shows you
