Reply #145: Fire ants do leave nasty bites, I have 15 of so on my right foot, from

[texanwitch]

last week and I am still treating them. A good first aid is to use alcohol and then Absorbine, Jr., a tried and true ant bite treatment.

The ants are looking for high and dry locations, watch where you sit and walk.

My grandparents had these big red ants on the farm, and talk about bites, the bites would have big blisters afterward.

Another treatment for ant bites for children is witch hazel, easier for the little kids, doesn't sting.

Everybody take care and I wish I could be there this weekend, I hope to go next weekend (keeping fingers crossed).
