When I was younger, around 8 or 10 (don’t remember when), I was with my older sister and our babysitter watching cows and horses across a fence. Well, unbeknownst to me, I was standing in a fire ant pit and they were eating my feet up. Once I started crying in pain, our babysitter had to rush my older sister and I home, and my mom made a bath for me with certain chemicals to help heal me right away.
This was over a decade ago though, and I’ve never stepped in a swarm since. My feet are fine now.
I don't think I have... I've been bitten by ants, but not a giant swarm of them Mosquitos on the other hand... TnT they bite me through my clothes so... I'm never safe from them oof :[
No. I grew up in an area that didn't have fire ants. I live in an area with them now, but I've never been bitten by them. I know they exist though and am constantly looking for their mounds on the ground. I have fire ant poison that I sprinkle around the mound whenever one appears in my yard. I normally don't like applying poison for anything, but fire ants can be nasty and their colonies spread FAST. If you don't take them out ASAP, you'll have a giant colony underground and a whole lot of mounds all over your yard.
I have never actually seen a fire ant in real life, so no, I've never been bitten by one or multiple of them. Hopefully that will continue to be the case.
