I was bitten several years ago at a friends home. Felt one bite and looked down to see hundreds on my leg. Sprayed them off with a hose and the hostess applied vinegar to the bites. It did hurt for about 2 hours but the bites did not seem to blister. As a sidelight I ended up with shingles about a week later. These ants can certainly effect your autoimmune system.
