Today, at 19 years-old, I found out that kiwi birds aren’t actually extinct. FML
Today, I got a soap that my doctor recommended, because I'm allergic to the vast majority of soaps. After driving 45 miles to the only store that sells it, and paying $12 for a bottle, I found out I'm allergic to it too. FML
Today, I found out I was allergic to bees, the hard way, at my wedding. FML
Today, I found out that I am allergic to one of the preservatives that they put in aloe. I found this out after I put some on a severe sunburn I have. Not only am I sunburned, but now I am severely itchy as well. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that I'm allergic to a particular brand of tampon. FML
Today, I got excited when I learned that the fruit on the trees by my apartment building was ripe and free to pick. I picked myself some juicy summer plums and enjoyed them. Minutes later, my tongue started burning painfully. Turns out, I'm allergic to plums. FML
Today, marks 2 weeks since I got Oral Allergy Syndrome, a.k.a. randomly becoming allergic to apples, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, mangos, carrots, celery, beets, sunflower seeds, fennel, my toothpaste, and more things I just haven't tried yet. I'm vegan. FML
Today, I found out I have a new allergy: the sun. My face is so swollen that it has started to bleed to relieve the pressure. Today is also day 6 of the 3-month European trip that I spent all year saving for. FML

What an odd amount! Did you buy an expensive kiwi or did you have a Groupon for a cheap allergist?

Could be worse, some people go their whole lives thinking "itchy" is a flavor.

pretty cheap tbh it's usually an expensive visit with an allergist, or an epi pen

I feel you my friend. I tested allergic to bananas so I didn’t have a banana for 10 years and then I had my allergies retested and it said I wasn’t allergic to banana. So I went out and got a couple bananas. Well, I started getting sores in my mouth my mouth started itching so that made me very sad.

I started breaking out with a mysterious rash a few months ago. my wife said it was probably all the craft beer I was drinking. I said I guess I'll be rashy forever then. turns out it wasn't the beer

Either you found an incredibly kind doctor who let you pay $7 to be tested, or you already had the medication to hand for some reason, and bought a really expensive kiwi.
