I bet you had a nice collection of welts after that too. Fire ants are incredibly aggressive.when i was stationed in southern georgia, i pulled my car into a buddies yard to re-clamp the muffler to the frame, and i crawled under the car and in about 30 seconds or so, my back was burning and i had no idea why. fire ants.
i came out from under there with a whole bunch of them on my back, biting away. my buddy told me to turn around and turned the garden hose on my back. felt much better then.
I upset a wasps nest while clearing brush. They chased me for hundreds of yards stinging all the way.
Oh, they were a regular occurance in Panama, we did or PT on the grass parade field and we'd wait to see how many people would jump up after getting down for situps or pushups.And no one has even mentioned fire ants yet!
Stung (finned) by a catfish. Hurt worse than any bug bite or bee sting.
Bitten by a dog once, on my paper route. After that, I carried a tire iron. No more dog bites.
dogs run away at the sight of a tire iron?
who knew?
And no one has even mentioned fire ants yet!
so, you're saying there was a 'learning curve'?It didn't have an immediate effect.
One of you should do this.
