Default Fire Ant Bites
A warning for those new to fire ants. I had forgotten how itchy-burny fire ant bites can be and how long they take to go away.


Please let me remind you to wear gloves when you weed and wear shoes in the yard and closed shoes on the golf course.


Those little varmints can really BITE. I have four this time, just from pulling a weed from under a bush before hopping into the car. They burn and blister and itch at the same time and it lingers for several days.

I want to know who blows that little whistle so they all sting at once?
