Ant Bites!

Post by Spike » 28th Jan, '09, 11:51

Last Saturday my feet got badly bitten by those pesky little red, stinging ants. They got into my sandals and I have over a dozen bites on one foot and five on the other foot. The bites are still bright red and itching like hell four days later. Anyone know of a good cure for such bites? I've tried Mopiko, which is great for Mozzie bites but it doesn't seem to work on these buggers.

Before amputation you could try putting your feet into the hottest water you can stand. Probably the venom is gone though, it's most likely your reaction that is causing the problem. A steriod cream migt help.
