Solution for fire ant bites....first aid tip
Solution for fire ant bites....first aid tip
When fire ants bite you, they bend over and spit digestive juices into the wound.
It forms a "pimple" that forms a lump/welt, gets infected and takes forever to heal.....if it ever does.
------------------
When they bit me working in the yard, I scraped away the pimple first. It bled a bit.
I then sprayed the wound with brake clean. It disinfected the wound and brake clean
always dries your skin.
Burned for a bit....briefly. Kept wiping off the blood until it dried over.
It now has a thin scab over it and the healing process has begun.
I may be applying Neosporin or an aloe plant next... to speed up the healing
Had I done nothing, the ant bite would still be there.
Passing it on.
