I thought fire ants were an urban legend! I found out the truth while taking Peanut for a early morning potty walk in a grassy, sandy area near our house. Within the span of five seconds, I was attacked by these vermin and victimized by seven bites on each foot! Talk about a rude awakening! A fire ant bite is a slightly more painful version of a mosquito bite, and the stingy, burning pain is slightly more long lasting. I was screaming like a banshee--its incredibly alarming to feel a sudden, burning pain from your feet, and then to look down and notice your feet crawling with ants!
All drama aside, it really was not a big deal. No anaphylaxis or anything, at least not yet. ;)
