Today, I had a mild allergic reaction from eating pasta salad. I told my mom that I might be allergic to the parsley, since it was the only ingredient that I don't eat often. She made me eat a sprig of it to "make sure." Now my face is covered in hives. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend’s mom fed me a new dish containing peanuts, knowing full well I’m severely allergic. According to her, her ancestors “cured” allergies by exposing the person to the allergen. I went into anaphylactic shock. FML
Today, my mom baked a cake for the whole family. One spent EpiPen later, I found out there were nuts in it, which I'm severely allergic to. My mom's defense was that she thought I'd have "gotten over" my allergy by now. FML
Today, I was eating a mystery flavored candy and I had an allergic reaction. Not only did I have to go to the hospital because my throat swelled up, but I still don't know what I'm allergic to. FML
Today, my aunt asked me to babysit my cousin. She gave me a warning that he says he's allergic to foods to get out of eating them. When I brought out my homemade cooking, he told me he was allergic, so I made him eat it anyway. Turns out he WAS allergic. FML
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 had a serious allergic reaction to the food I ate at a Chinese restaurant that supposedly didn't contain peanuts. According to my waitress, peanut oil "doesn't count". FML
Today, I had an asthma attack. I grabbed my inhaler and found peanut butter on it. I'm extremely allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, I tried to blow my girlfriend's vegan parents minds by cooking them a tofu stir-fry. Being allergic to tofu but wanting to prove my cooking skills, I wore gloves and avoided touching my face. Somehow, I still managed to get it in my eye, causing an allergic reaction that made my face swell up like a balloon. Now her parents think I'm some sort of Martian. FML
Today, I was eating out with my partner, and we decided to use the new lube we bought. Things went great until I later realized I was allergic to it and a large red rash spread all across my mouth and chin. It won't go away. FML
Today, I finally decided to try an alternative to peanut butter, since I found out I was allergic a while back. Two hours later I had to be sent home because the allegedly allergen-free SunButter caused my lips and throat to swell and patches of rashes to form all over my body. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Apparently baconstrips, there is something wrong with me, because now my comment's gone. P.S you come from fat trimmed off the belly of a pig carcass, that is all

One of my friends is allergic to elastic, milk, corn syrup (not anymore), and I think gluten.

WTF what if you had gone into anaphylactic shock? And possibly died? What a shitty parent.

Sometimes, its a dumb idea to listen to your parents.

36, I'm not being a dick or anything, but who cares? Heaps if people are allergic to stuff, and if each person commented about themselves or friends or family that were, the comments would be ******* long.

I remember one time, that since my parents thought that I didn't have acne anymore, I don't need to use my medications anymore, 3 days later I broke out -.- and it was messy

a doc will just do exactly what ops mom did and have them eat some. albeit in smaller portions then mom did, but same principle.

What do mean by its the only ingredient u don't eat often? So u eat everything else there is in the world?
angelofsaturn 23
#121 pretty sure the OP meant that they eat the other ingredients of the pasta salad more often.

I'd be happy maybe they looked cool like a bullet wound or something.

You'd be happy to have hives break out all over your face because you think it would look like a bullet wound? I suppose you would also be happy to get a nosebleed because it looks like confetti coming out of your nostril.

There was an earlier post with bullet wounds involved.
iAmScrubs 19
Yes, the one about the boyfriend saying that the girlfriend's acne looks like a bullet wound?
Jaxon26 0
Yeah

Yeah that's why I do cocaine; so when people see my raw, bleeding nose I'll say I fought a bear.

Your mom could've just crushed the parsley against ur skin and if a rash broke out you would have easily found out. Oh well :(
BelleBelle_fml 11
23- It's called a patch test and is much safer than actually consuming a substance that you suspect you are allergic to. Good day :)
BelleBelle_fml 11
True, it doesn't work for everything. But rubbing it on your face is more risky because it can cause swelling, closing off your airway, which can potentially lead to respiratory arrest. So you should rub it on a small spot on your arm instead. And lactose intolerance isn't an allergy, it's the inability to absorb lactose into the digestive system, causing GI upset. So bathing in it won't cause a reaction.

Cut her and say "oh I was cutting you to make sure that the knife was dangerous"

Is there something wrong with you?

That's a bit extreme...
marinus_fml 20
Because going for a milk bath is going to be a good indicator to see whether I am lactose intolerant.
MagicallyFat 12
Obvisouly this doesn't work for everything. Seeing as how his face broke out in hives if he rubbed some parsley on his arm the same wouldn't have happened. Just like poison ivy. You don't have to eat it

Because that's the mature thing to do? I wouldn't bother, karma's a bitch and will take care of it for OP.
