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!

This is why I stay home.

if you're allergic to ants, camping probably isn't wise

*is allergic to two very common things found outdoors* "Maybe I should go camping by myself for a while"

That's why I'm not a fan of nature. That sucks, OP. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Why on earth would you go camping alone when you have two allergies that you would easily come across in nature?? If the effects aren't bad and you can just take a pill or rub some cream in, then I understand. But it's like an anaphylaxis kinda thing, then you're just asking for it by going out there alone.

You would thing maybe you should put your shoes back on given that ants are on the ground along with whatever else you don't want to step on but you seemed to find the 2 worse possibilities. You kinda deserve it.

As horrible as those experiences were, I'm sure you've taken a lot away from them, you've learned a few lessons in caution. I bet when you are ready for your next one, you will have a much better time. That's how I learned how to camp, making each miserable experience or mistake a learning opportunity. Don't let it discourage you, OP!
