Fire ant bites
#11
Feel Better! When I lived in TX we had a HUGE fire ant problem! I remember one night I was laying in bed and I woke up thinking....geez why am I so itchy? I looked in the covers and there were literally hundreds upon hundreds of fire ants in my bed! Our house was brand new, never been lived in, and apparently we disturbed some major ant hills. My bed was pushed up against the wall which had an electrical socket in it and that's how they were getting in.....just pouring in around the socket....I had so many bites it was ridiculous. I feel your pain!!

Thanks for all you kind wishes, suggestions and sharing. After taking my allergy meds, I went to bed for twelve hours. Right now only on cluster of bites is bothering me, but that will change.
The thing about the fire ants is that they seem to be the only ants that bites for pleasure. They get a hold of someone and then twist the bite. They tend not to be very clean,either.
I think I would have a heart attack if I woke with them all over the bed. They are so vicious.
Thanks again, all of you.

Sorry you were bitten so badly. Hope you start feeling better soon.
I can't stand fire-ants. I pretty much have a "Kill on Sight" mentality when I spot a mound. I will boil water & pour it on the mound.
