For me, I think it was when I was playing in the yard, and saw one of my mom's pots of dirt for her garden, and I thought "yeah this would be good to dump on my lap"

It was full of fire ants. Big, angry, north carolinian fire ants.

I was covered in red welts and all I remember is screaming at the top of my lungs while my mom sprayed me down with a hose

Went sailing for a day without any shirt on. Worst sunburn ever. Luckily we had to practice for a musical at school where we would put our arms around eachother at some point, i skipped that part for a bit.

    This is also mine. All day at a pool with no sunscreen. The burn had almost a purple hue to it and my parents did nothing about it so I lay in my room on my belly for days until eventually my parents dropped me off at my aunt and uncles and my uncle cotton saw my now cracking skin said "Boy get some aqua vera on that thing good god!" And after that it started to heal

    Oof, this happened when my family went tubing down the Delaware River. It was the first time in my life that I was grateful women's bathing suits include a top, as I got burnt horribly, but I didn't end up with as much burn as the guys in my party all did. My poor, Canadian boyfriend looked like a tomato at the end.
