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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 was stung by a wasp. Startled, I stumbled and grabbed a nearby tree branch to regain my balance. The branch happened to be the location of the wasp's nest, which fell to the ground and split open. The wasps weren't happy. FML
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
Today, my friends and I went camping. In the middle of the night, they carried me deep into the forest and left me there. I stepped on a beehive as I walked back to the tent. FML
Today, I decided to take a nap in the park. I found a nice shady spot and closed my eyes. When I woke up, I realized I had fallen asleep on an ant hill. My entire body was riddled with ants. FML
Today, whilst out on a walk with the dogs, I decided to explore a different part of the woods. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my bum. Then another. And another. I realised it was wasps and ran. I've been stung 11 times and have to go back tomorrow for the coat I dropped. FML
Today, I was on a nature hike and had to use the bushes as a restroom. In doing so I stepped on an ant hill and ended up with my shorts around my ankles, dancing the Twist to fend off the ants. FML
Today, this huge wasp started flying around me. I freaked out and started running from it. Then I slipped, landed face-first in some dog poo, and got stung by the wasp on my leg. FML
Today, I saw a wasp on the ground, apparently injured and unable to fly. It was being mobbed by ants and looked certain to die, so I stamped on the ants to save its life. At this point it sprung up, stung me, then flew off. FML
Today, I found a horde of ants in one of my socks when I put it on my foot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

But which one are you MORE allergic to? Fortunately, you've unintentionally conducted an experiment to answer just that!

Sorry OP that really sucks. Camping is usually pretty awesome though, maybe bring some slides next time just in case. Hopefully you can get to a hospital and rest up. Better luck next time

Depends on how introverted you are, #9. Use the plastic loopy tunnel slides if you want to be popular. Set up a metal slide in the sun if you want to send the majority of your fellow campers to the hospital with third degree burns. You might be called evil, but the campground will be nice and quiet once the screams die down. I like to camp in peace.

So your allergic to both ants and wasps, but you decided to go camping alone...

Are you ever truly alone when you have ants and wasps keeping you company?

Going out for a week alone, I assume you're not new to camping. You know better. Search the ground area better before pitching your tent. There is no excuse for having an ant hill at your tent door. But the wasp piling on is not really your fault. Did the incident end your trip early, or did you bring enough meds for more than one allergy emergency?
