Today, I got a mosquito bite inside my cast. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
The itch from hell
Today, I got a mosquito bite inside my cast. I slipped a ruler into it and started scratching to relieve the itch. Part of the ruler ended up snapping off inside. FML
Hey Scratchy!
Today, I got a mosquito bite under each armpit. FML
The climate is whack
Today, it was an unusually warm day after many weeks of typical subfreezing temperatures, so my family and I went for a walk in the park. We all came back with mosquito bites. FML
LEAVE ME ALONE
Today, it's the third day that I can't sleep. Somewhere in my room, there's a mosquito craving for my blood, and every time I'm about to fall asleep, I can hear it flying around. I'm covered in bites, even in places that barely see the daylight. FML
Gotta catch 'em all
Today, I now have a plantar wart, chigger bites, and a brown recluse spider bite all in the same foot. FML
Today, I was with my kids. We saw a tiny little bug and they started freaking out. Trying to show them that bugs are not scary, I picked it up. It bit me and now I have to go to the doctor because my hand is the size of a balloon. FML
Bugging out
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 decided to sunbathe in my backyard in an attempt to be healthy. The result? Insect bites over my body. Somehow, despite being fully clothed the entire time, my scrotum also received several bites. FML
Today, I finally got my cast taken off my leg after a long month of crutches. I was so excited, until four dead spiders fell out. FML
Today, the mosquito infestation is so bad that multiple mosquitoes sucked the blood out of the steak I was grilling and promptly died on top of it. FML

Those mosquitos don't give up, do they? I've had them inside my clothes, but a cast? FYL, OP.

A mosquito got inside his cast, that's how. It's possible. It's just impossible to scratch.
starman02 12
Unless you have a wooden spoon or something like that. Worked for me when I had my cast's.

Mosquitos are relentless little air ninjas.

Unbend a metal coat hanger and get in there. I feel for you op; when I broke my hand I idiotically decided I would cut it off early because of the irritation. Keep it dry and don't let anyone catch you smelling it!

21- Bad advice! You're not supposed to put anything in your cast. I broke my leg a few months ago and made the same mistake, cut the skin and it developed an infection. Skin hidden beneath a cast becomes really sensitive and this means scratching it is more likely to cut the skin, and what with the cast covering the wound, it's untreatable without having to go back to hospital for the cast to be removed, and wound treated. If you don't do this infection often sets in. It's generally a bad idea to put anything in your cast, it could get stuck etc. If I were OP, I'd just put a hairdryer on cold setting and blow it down the cast, hopefully should stop the itching.

something like when one bites me it spreads all over that area. it doesn't look like the usual bump.
deOrca 8
@2Smile4Life - You may be having an allergic reaction to the mosquito bite. It happens to me nearly every time I get bitten. However, it is not a serious condition.

OP, I agree with 25. Just try to take a nap if it gets really itchy. Or drip some rubbing alcohol on it to relieve it for a moment then add lotion & relax maybe take a nap. But don't scratch.
MDTeddy 13
Spray some benadryl down it.

put some windex on it!

I see what u did there. Lol I loved that movie: My Big Fat Greek Wedding in case somebody doesn't know

You have to be like me; I don't feel bites anymore because I've been button 18118 times. AND I TOOK IT LIKE A BOSS.

Damn that sucks OP. at least when your cast rubs its like scratching it kind of.

Fork= best friend ever... Chopsticks aren't to bad either.
Jiplo 18
Well, I somehow managed to read "cast" as "chest." Makes much more sense now...
NewMetalGirl 14
Try forgetting about it, then it won't itch. At least in my experience that's how it goes.
CallMeMcFeelii 14
Forgetting about it would be so hard. I remember when I had a broken wrist I had to buy a small metal rod just to satisfy my itch. I can't image what it'd be like to have mosquito bite under that damned cast. Fyl for sure.

I dont forget, I itch it then it bleeds then i put bandaids on lol

3- I love your picture :) And yes, the more you think about it, the more it's going to itch.

50- it's underneath a cast. Scratching that itch on accident isn't really a concern

Or maybe use a small straw. When I broke my arm and had an itch, I used a small juice box straw to lightly scratch it. It worked well.

The shortest ones are some of the funniest. Here's my favorite: "Today, I watched Gigli. FML".
supportcommand 17
I remember that one. FHL indeed!
p3mguin 7
"today, I woke up, and it was Monday" only FML I actually laughed at that was short.
outoftown 27
Or, "Today, I almost got kidnapped. Again. FML"
Bonzer 2
Or "Today, I got bored looking at ****. FML"
P374RD3D 9
"Today, I was woken up by my own fart. FML"

"Today, Michael Jackson died. FML" i think it was taken off the site though. :(

"Today I got mugged by a midget. FML."
mswim 27
"Today I found out I like the giants FML" I think that's how it went... Or maybe it was "today I listened to a Justin Bieber song FML"
rsunshine2020 13
At least you can't itch it, itching only makes it worse
eternal7 6
I'm sure it already itches. Scratching it may make it worse though.

And yet it feels sooo good

Unbend a coat hanger, stick it down your cast and scratch? :) And if that doesn't work then take your mind off of it:D Good luck OP!
gc327072 31
..and then get an infection and be featured on 1000 ways to die. BAD IDEA!

Infection how? It's not like she said use a RUSTY hangar.
Kefka91 15
83 - 'cause rust is the only thing to cause infection and not anything like bacteria, right?
PandaSpots 10
Because you don't clean that area, you'll have a whole bunch of dead skin trying to come up which looks like a rash. My friend had a cast once and her arm was itching, do she used a wire hanger. When she took off her cast, her arm looks red, blotchy, and disgusting.

I kept trying to tap this FML but I kept going on to the one below!! :)

I kept trying to not call you a moron. But I kept typing and here it is, moron. FYL

I did the same #8. I have big fingers what can I say?

Then click on the one below, since you love it so much, and hit the up arrow!

How? I thought if you get bit and don't touch it, it won't itch...
Psych101 9
No, I don't think so. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the mosquito usually injects something that causes the bite not to itch. However, it is often interrupted before it actually injects the substance.
Slender_Man 6
It's the mosquito's saliva that makes it itch
FMLshark 12
Have you never been bitten by any kind of bug before?
alyspar2 5
Well you, my friend, have obviously never gotten bitten by a mosquito. I think you should get outside more.
SeedlessMe 13
You're def not entirely wrong, Psych. but I hope you don't mind me enlightening you anyway :) The mosquito injects a substance into our skin to numb it, so we don't feel them sucking our blood. When that wears off, it starts to itch because our body is rejecting it. (basically a low-grade allergic reaction) Yeah, I research my enemies... Those little ******* love me :[
mswim 27
The mosquito sticks it's nose/mouth in your skin, then she injects it's saliva so you don't feel her, but usually people feel the prick of her nose or see her, and then shoo her away/ slap her, so she doesn't get the chance to take her saliva out. Which is what causes the itch. The reason I keep saying her is because all mosquitos that suck blood are female, the males do not suck blood they are herbivores.
kyat288 9
Sucks to be u OP! (get it? Mosquitos SUCK ur blood)
BunchieRules 31
A better choice would have been, "That bites". Either way, they're still both bad puns.
PhishloverA 14
#22 "That bites" is a good pun for this situation
alexhaz64 4
I bet you'd rather break your arm again than deal with that mosquito bite... That is awful!
deOrca 8
Yeah no. You obviously don't know what it feels like to break your arm. Where does it say OP broke their arm anyway?
FML_Master2133 6
When I broke my arm, it didn't hurt. But that's because it hurt so much my body went in shock.
FML_Master2133 6
I forgot to add: when I broke it, I heard a crack but felt nothing. I said nothing till someone looked at my arm and screamed cause it was deformed.
