I stepped in a mound of fire ants about three weeks ago while playing golf. Ouch!!! I got about 40 bites as they completely covered my shoes and raced up my legs. I was also biten on the hand as I try to brush them off. Horrible. Ice worked best for me. It is three weeks and some still itch!! I now carry "AfterBite" in the golf cart if I get another bite.
