Today, I had an allergy test. Not only was I allergic to 35 out of the 40 items, they also found out that I'm allergic to the latex gloves my doctor happened to be wearing. Now my entire back is covered in a rash that will last at least another week. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered that I have developed a latex allergy. I'm a third year medical student. 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 finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML
Today, is my first day as a student nurse. It was also the first day I learnt I was allergic to latex gloves. FML
Today, I had to be rushed to the hospital when I started sneezing uncontrollably and got a huge rash. It turns out I'm highly allergic to a chemical in most cleaning supplies. Great. I just got a job as a house cleaner for a very rich family. 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
Today, I tried to do my leaf collection project for biology, which ended with me being hospitalized because of an allergy attack. I have no idea what I'm allergic to, but my doctor says I should just assume I'm "allergic to all leaves, ever." 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 got back the results of an allergy test I decided to get because I felt generally tired after meals. Turns out that I'm allergic to, among other things, meat (yep, is a thing), nuts (of course), milk, egg, rice, carrot, apple, yeast (as in bread), and even soy. Seems I'm allergic to… food. FML
Today, I went to the allergist. I found out that I am allergic to dogs, cats, wool, fleece, and pet dander. I'm currently planning to go to school to become a veterinarian. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Look on the bright side. If you're a guy you can tell women you can't wear a condom because you're allergic. :)

They make latex-free condoms for just such cases...

I said look on the bright side. There are no STD's or unwanted pregnancies on the bright side.

How does one deserve to be allergic... I would think in those test they wouldn't use latex due to that reason...guess I am wrong...

Its standard to use latex unless otherwise stated in medical history (this point was made by another commenter)

That's grim! You're allergic to everything! Someone just just put you to sleep!

Someone should put you to sleep...

Allergies suck, but at least now you know what to avoid - and there are worse ways to find out you're allergic to latex!

Yes! That stuff really helped my allergic reaction to the adhesive on black tape.

So, what are the five things you can tolerate? Perhaps you should build a house made of pollen, shrimp, dust, cat dander and cheese. You'll be fine, just as long as you don't go outside.
