What Are the Treatments for Fire Ant Bites?
Fire ants are a very aggressive insect found in the southeastern United States. Their bites are especially painful because the bites insert venom into the skin. If you disturb their nest, fire ants will swarm onto your legs and feet and attack with painful stings. The stings will immediately turn red and begin itching. Later the bites can develop into blisters called pustules. The best advice when dealing with fire ants is avoid them so you don’t get stung, but if you do get stung, there are several things you can do to treat the bites.
