Today, I found out I'm allergic to bug repellent. So instead of having a couple of itchy bug bites, my skin feels like it's on fire and is violently itchy everywhere the repellent has touched. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 was getting ready for a very unpleasant doctor's appointment. I got out of the shower and used a new body spray all over my torso and arms. Turns out I'm allergic to it and now my skin is on fire, so now I get to go to an already uncomfortable appointment even more uncomfortable than I'd planned. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, I found out I'm allergic to mosquito repellent. I fly out on a two month trip to India on Saturday. FML
Today, I'm allergic to not only bug spray, but also mosquitos. I'm staying at a bug-infested lake for 5 days. FML
Today, I went to the store and bought some cream to help with a sunburn I'd gotten a few days ago. What's worse than having red, peeling, and painful skin? An allergic reaction on top of it. FML
Today, I found out I'm allergic to the pills my doctor prescribed for coughing, which I really need because I ripped a muscle in my stomach. Now my whole upper body is covered in a terrible itchy rash. I also found out it will last for at least another week. FML
Today, I decided to lay out and tan. I fell asleep and got sun burned and bitten numerous times by mosquitoes. If I scratch my itch, the burn hurts terribly. If I don't scratch it, it itches terribly. FML
Today, I got the worst sunburn I've ever had in my life, and then discovered I'm allergic to aloe when I went to treat the burn with some gel. FML
Today, I got a new skin cream for my acne. I tested it on a small patch of skin just to make sure I wasn't allergic. I was, and the reaction didn't stay on that small patch of skin. My left arm is now almost entirely covered in a horrible rash. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

His skin feels like it's on fire. How is that the bright side? I'd rather be itchy from bug bites

Maybe next time spray a circle around where you plan to sit and then sit there? In the mean time that really sucks, OP, feel better!

Maybe you're allergic to the deet in the repellent, they have non-deet bug repellent available

LOL, I feel your pain, OP. I found out the hard way that I'm allergic to Banana Boat sunscreen... And that SPF 50 isn't enough to keep me from getting seriously sunburned. Imagine being sunburnt head to toe with an itchy contact dermatitis rash. FYL OP! Stock up on Benadryl. Hopefully it'll clear up soon!

Try rubbing a smelly herb on your skin like Basil or boil it and use the water as a spray instead of the repellent

I'd bet that's how bugs feel

Are the bites gone though?

Hey OP, safety pinning an used dryer sheet to your clothing repels mosquitos and won't mess up your allergies.
