FIRE ANTS.... Yes it appears to be. When we lived in Georgia we were attacked most every time one worked in the yard.

To make it go away, (sounds gross but works) scratch the wound open and put rubbing alcohol (not whiskey) and the boil will stop hurting and dry up. Old wives home brew from the Georgia mountains, but it worked.
