“It’s going to terrify me every time I go away from now on!” Tiktoker @thelifeofzo_ admitted in the viral video, which has already racked up over 13 million shocked viewers.
The oozy ordeal quickly drew thousands of stunned reactions — and some hilariously horrified questions.
“Where was the honeymoon located, at Jumanji??” one user asked.
“Was the honeymoon destination the 75th Hunger Games?” another quipped.
“Jurassic Park exists?” someone else joked.
Despite the internet’s desperate pleas, the TikToker hasn’t revealed where her buggy battle took place.
She did confirm, however, that she had to seek medical care back in the US, where doctors told her not to pop the fluid-filled monstrosities bubbling on her skin.
“It’s been nearly 2 weeks since they first appeared and they’re so sore!” she wrote in the comments. “I could hardly walk, I kept getting a crushing feeling in my feet, on antibiotics now.”
At first, she thought the blisters were just sun-related, possibly from a second-degree burn. But doctors said they were caused by insect bites, though they couldn’t pinpoint the exact culprit.
“I’m not 100% sure what bit me!” she said. “But I think it will have been mosquitos.”
Typical mosquito bites show up as small, raised bumps that usually cause only mild swelling and itching without lasting damage. But when bites develop into large blisters like hers, it can be a sign of Skeeter Syndrome.
This condition is a severe allergic reaction to proteins in mosquito saliva, causing intense inflammation, swelling, pain and blisters. It can also bring on flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, fever and swollen lymph nodes.
Skeeter Syndrome is relatively rare and usually affects children or people with weakened immune systems, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Several TikTok users with the allergy shared stories of similar reactions — though they admitted her case was next-level.
“I thought mine was bad! But this is the worst I’ve seen honestly,” one viewer commented.
The blisters eventually ruptured on their own, leaving behind painful open sores on the woman’s legs.
“I’ll be surprised if I’m not left with scars,” she commented.
Despite the blistering ordeal, she still made the most of her unforgettable vacation.
“Happy honeymoon, got to say with my luck this actually didn’t even surprise me,” she wrote. “Still had a blast even if I struggled walking.”
Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
