Gracie, sorry to hear. Those red ants do pack a mean bite! I discovered something once by happenstance that oddly enough works great for me. Apply benadryl cream and a sports pain relief cream together lightly. It will sting after a few seconds but for me totally takes the itch out. Works for a few hours. If you try it, let me know how it works.
