And don't forget the big eastern back diamond rattlesnakes.
When I was there the "fire ants" were starting to take over. I hope they got them under control. Those ants were nasty- Tom
Nope. The fire ants took over. If you hit their mounds with fire ant killer, the little buggers just move ten feet and set up shop again. It’s amazing how just a few bites from those tiny little monsters can make your entire limb go numb. And those diamondbacks are Hell on Earth. My little sister back home in the MD mountains got bitten by one walking down her porch steps in the dark a few years back. She thought it was just an insect sting until her ankle blew up and she started having breathing difficulty. They found the punctures in her ankle at the E.R. and it took almost half the antivenin in the tri-state area to keep her from going into complete renal failure. It was a couple of years before her kidneys were back to normal.
