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.

Ouch, that sucks. I broke my arm a few years ago, so I know all too well the severe cast itches. Good luck with it- hopefully they'll take it off soon. Don't scratch it though, or it'll get infected.

I had a broken leg and a broken hand. During the hot summer months the cast itched like hell. Put powder down it that will help the itch.

You must be itching to scratch it

I have had several casts and agree that would suck big time, but my question and looking at the comments noone has addressed I believe: how do you know? The casts are supposed to be somewhat tight to prevent movement, did you watch it crawl in and bite, if you can't see it, itchiness from debree and sweating is more likely and in most cases feel just as itchy as a bug bite.. Without physical evidence (like you watched it crawl in; which would be your fault) this really isn't a FML more a first world problem.. :

That sucks! I know how you feel, I got poison oak inside my cast once..during summer vacation...on the way to Disneyland.

Are you sure it's a mosquito bite? With such a tight spot, it sounds more like a bed bug bite. Bed bugs are becoming more and more of a problem in the USA and their bites resemble mosquito bites in looks and itchiness.

Ooh man! That sucks, I had poison ivy on my leg, when I broke it, NOT a fun time!
