Back in the 2002 Texas floods, I was digging a ditch to try to keep the water out of my house. One of those balls of fire ants floated against my leg, and thought they’d make it out of the water. I swear they can bite under water. I feel nauseous, and prickly just thinking about it.
After they started chomping, I completely lost interest in digging the ditch to keep the flood waters at bay.
