Today, we were building the homecoming float, the theme is Seasons of Love. We went around the yard and put random leaves on the float. My friend's dad looked at the float and said, "You do realize that's poison ivy?" FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up with a rash all across my body. Last night, my boyfriend and I got it on in some bushes, and it seems one of those was poison ivy. FML
Today, my idiot neighbor decided the best way to dispose of the poison ivy in his yard was to pile it all up and burn it. I'm severely allergic. It was so bad that one of my eyes is still swollen half shut. FML
Today, my boyfriend surprised me with a bouquet of flowers he'd picked himself. This would’ve been romantic, had they not all been Poison Hemlock. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when someone pushed me into poison ivy. He ran off saying, "That's for beating me in the race." I've never been in a race, nor have I ever met him. FML
Today, my younger brother sat on some poison ivy. He didn't have any symptoms because he's pretty much immune to it. Also today, my boyfriend had to run to the ER because he got poison ivy on his genitalia. I knew they spent way too much time together. FML
Today, I took a piss while doing yard work. Later, to my horror, I discovered that I had touched poison oak at some point. My penis is now blistered and swollen. FML
Today, I helped my parents out by tearing down the old, rusty swing set that's been in our backyard for years. Little did I know that there was a beehive hidden in the long grass, and I now have dozens of painful red bumps all over me. FML
Today, it's "family fun night." We're pulling weeds. FML
Today, my dad asked if I'd help him clean the gutters. I was given the responsibility of holding the ladder while he went on the roof. All I heard was laughter before a year's worth of rotting vegetation landed on top of my head. FML
Today, a few friends and I ran through sprinklers at our school until we were all soaked. Then we were told that they put fertilizer in the water. I'm soaked in manure. Now I know why it tasted weird. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI for not knowing what poison ivy looks like

Why would you put real leaves on the float in the first place? Not only do YDI for not knowing what poison ivy looks like, but you also deserve it for not thinking about the bugs that live in leaves, like ticks (they would eventually end up on the people riding on the float) or about the allergies many people have to leaves. Oh, and the fact that leaves mold. And that they don't hold up well when used in craft projects.

Burt's Bees poison ivy soap for the skin, Technu for the clothes. If you didn't wash up before the rash rose, duct tape the blisters overnight. It's weird, but it works. Mr. Doe is terribly sensitive to poison ivy, so this is something I know a lot about.

@OP if you guys were lucky enough and it was your first exposure to poison ivy, you most likely won't get the allergic reaction this time. For some it takes several exposures to develop allergic reaction, and some others won't develop an allergic reaction at all even if exposed multiple times.

I don't think poison ivy exists in yards mostly it's like in the mountains
