Oh my goodness, the fragile and delicate little ants can bite!
My arm was resting on the edge of the jacuzzi on Tuesday and suddenly felt a pitch. I looked over and saw a tiny fire ant running away. At first I didn’t think of it much but soon it became a small itchy lump. On Friday, a tiny white formed on the lump where it’s still itchy.
Oh well, learnt one more thing!
An update: 6.20 a week later, still itchy and the lump is still there.
Some advices from friends:
- buy skin so soft insect repellent..its oily but works!
- Red ant bites HURT for awhile!
- I put fresh lemon on mine, and it helped a little
- The small black ants are vicious. I use campho phenique on the bites.
- Always good idea to apply insect repellent. If bitten Benadryl and hydrocortisone cream. Cold packs help too.
