[E. Pluribus Unum]

Nasty little buggers.

I found out that when they bite, I use a cotton ball soaked with rubbing alcohol and rub it for about a minute. It stops the burn, itch and swelling almost instantly!!

If I don’t catch them within a few minutes I get large pimple like sores which I scratch at night until they bleed and then it’s a mess for a week.

Same for mosquito bites!!

When I was in my 20s, I was playing golf on a course in northern Florida. I set my bag down on top of a nest (unbeknownst to me at the time.) When I picked the bag up, I was surprised to see all these ants swarming over it. I tried to "brush them off" with my gloved hand. I did not know about fire ants at the time--but I found out.

I had numerous welts and small pustules on the back of my hand, and boy, did they sting. Quite painful.
