Today, I started my job as an assistant to a beekeeper. I forgot to put gloves on, and got stung like crazy. My hands swelled up to the size of baseball gloves. Turns out, I'm allergic to bees. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out I was allergic to bees, the hard way, at my wedding. FML
Today, I accidentally stepped on a dead bee. The stinger was still intact. How do I know? It stung my foot. I'm allergic to bees. FML
Today, I pulled a bee off of my friend's dog because we were worried he could be allergic. Of course I got stung, and of course the dog wasn't allergic. Turns out I am. FML
Today, I was riding my motorcycle on the highway and wearing all of my gear - boots, gloves, jacket, and full-face helmet. Somehow a bee found the only spot not covered on my body and stung my neck. I'm allergic to bees. FML
Today, I went to the zoo with a guy I like, when we were there we saw a swarm of bees. I told him that if I got stung he would have to watch me because my dad is deathly allergic to bees and I have never been stung. Jokingly, he nudged me into the bush and said "let's see". We did. I'm allergic. FML
Today, while walking to class enjoying the warmer weather, a bee flew down my shirt. I'm allergic to bees so I freaked out and started ripping my clothes off. By the time I was done, I was half naked and there was no bee in sight. Turns out, it was the string on my jacket hood. FML
Today, I helped my parents out by tearing down the old, rusty swing set that's been in our backyard for years. Little did I know that there was a beehive hidden in the long grass, and I now have dozens of painful red bumps all over me. FML
Today, I was taking a break in my work truck when I saw a huge swarm of bees flying my way. I have a hand crank window so I started cranking it up as fast as I could and the knob snapped off before it closed and I got stung by the whole swarm before I could get out. FML
Today, I was at a stop light and a bee landed on my leg. I screamed and started swatting it. It flew into my jacket and I started to strip my jacket off, taking my foot off the brake. I hit the car in front of me and deployed the air bag, breaking my nose. Then the bee stung me in the back. FML
Today, I was started my week of camping alone in the woods. I took my shoes off to go to sleep, but I had to come out to get water. I stepped on a wasp, and while I was standing on one foot looking at the sting, I realized I was in an ant pile. I'm allergic to both. FML

.... Let me get this straight You got a job tending to bees You're allergic to bees You forgot to put gloves on when approaching the beehive? Okay what's your iq level?

While forgetting to put on your gloves in this situation is akin to forgetting a hazmat suit in a risky environmental area the rest really isn't an intelligence decision at all. It's obvious from the wording that the OP had never been stung by a bee before and didn't know he was allergic. You'd think somebody trying to belittle somebody about intelligence would have some reading comprehension ability.

Oh I do.... But when you're 4 you're tested for allergies to pb, bee stings, wasp stings. Etc. :) so kindly **** off? He's a moron. End of story

When you're 4 you don't typically have the capacity to understand the gravity of your allergies and typically the doctor doesn't explain such things to you, but to your legal guardian [or whomever brought you for such a visit]. At this time unless there is something uncommon about your allergies it's unlikely your parents are going to give you an indepth analysis, if they do you're likely to not remember. As you get older being informed becomes an oversight. I'm 24 - Not only do I not physically remember taking such a test 20 years ago but because I don't have any crazy life altering allergies [food allergies] it never played a big role in my life. I checked with both of my parents, neither of them has any idea if I'm allergic to bee stings, for this reason.

That's sad.... You should remember allergies. Not the test but the pure fact that you're allergic to them

Shouldn't the person you were assisting have told you? Get well soon. xx
