Today, I realized that the "pimples" on my back weren't pimples at all. Because I was unable to see how bad they were for the last week, I never caught on to the fact the they were, in fact, ticks. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the doctor for what I thought was a persistent bug bite. Turns out it was a mole I'd never noticed. I had been scratching it then applying anti-itch cream for weeks. FML
Today, I found out that the little red dots all over my body aren't some horrible disease like I originally thought. They're bedbug bites. I've managed to not notice a huge infestation for 5 months. FML
Today, I was about to get in the shower, when I felt an odd itch in my navel. I saw what I thought was bellybutton lint, so I pulled on it, and quickly realized what I had between my fingers was a still-squirming, headless tick. FML
Today, I realized that the cute freckle I noticed a few weeks ago is actually a giant blackhead. FML
Today, I thought my face was breaking out with pimples, and I thought it was weird because I never break out. And I noticed all these "bug bites" all over my body. When I got home, I realized those weren't bug bites. I have chicken pox, and my high school graduation is tomorrow. FML
Today, I went to the Doctor's for a mole my husband had said was, "growing and changing color". It turned out to be a wood tick. My husband knew, but said it was too "icky" to take off himself. FML
Today, I found out the hard way that blood-filled deer ticks can look a lot like black jelly beans. FML
Today, I found a tick half-buried in my nipple. FML
Today, the pimples on my face are finally clearing up. They seem to have migrated to my ass. FML
Today, I was eating a packet of chips while watching TV. I saw a crumb on the table in front of me, so without thinking I picked it up and ate it. It wasn't a crumb. It was a tick. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

it's difficult to tell when they're on your back. I camp a lot and I've had quite a few ticks on me before and haven't noticed for a few days. I actually got lime disease too :/

Epic!!! XD Lmao Vampire Bugs... Damn that really sucks OP. Hey look at the bright side... They aren't pimples :D
ThatOneAdamKid24 0
that's not the bright side, I would have rather had pimples then get lime disease! I was covered in red circles for days

Ticks are light weights- use some form of alcohol to remove them.

ThatOneAdamKid24 0
yea neon it was bad. I had just gotten back from camping in Wisconsin and was on another trip in Michigan when I found out, so I wasn't even able to go to my own doctor (I live In chicago). and karee green eyes are pretty and more rare than blue, be proud of the eyes you have

ThatOneAdamKid24 0

it's the south, they're all over
XFlyingxPiranhaX 0
Kentucky doesn't really count as the south.. I live there, and we're kinda in the middle. judgement made. Tchaa!!
mmaire 0
so because you don't consider Kentucky to be suitably 'Southern', ticks can't exist there? what? (and I'd have to disagree with you. idk where in Kentucky you live, but it is definitely the South where I live.)
skysharksbak 0
ticks are all over the north too idiot. I pulled 3-5 ticks everyday off my dog when I lived in Ohio
