Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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

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.

I'd use a fork. A spoon would just massage it.

That's a worthwhile FYL - sorry, OP - I hope it stops itching soon! Maybe you can use a skinny wooden skewer to get down in there and scratch it?

Those things are already itchy. I feel sorry for you man

Well it's better not to scratch it anyway. But FYL, because the scratching is sooo satisfying, even though it hurts more afterwards.

Everyone saying to stick a spoon or coat hanger down there and scratch it obviously never had a cast or didn't have a good doctor put it on. If they had the doctor would've informed them to never do that because the skin inside the cast is very sensitive and prone to infection. A small scratch from an object you stick in there can develop into a horrible infection. Unfortunately you'll just have to deal OP. Putting up the the annoyance of not being able to scratch an itch is nothing next to the potential of having to put up with an infected limb inside of a cast.

I don't know if YOU'VE ever had a cast; but they ******* itch, bad. Having a bug bite in my cast would drive me to blood lust....

Speaking from experience (I've had 4 casts), not scratching isn't an option. for safety reasons, probably shouldn't use a cost hanger like you were saying, but a ruler or the eraser end of a pencil? No harm there.

I just learned that the reason the bite itches is because of an allergic reaction from the saliva of the mosquito. All those itchy bites because of bug spit! :P

Ugh. I know the feeling I just got my leg cast off and I had a mosquito too... It sucks!

Get out the fork. Once I had a cast for 8 weeks, they suck.
