Poor Olivia had her first taste of fire ants.
Bradley was a true hero and yelled, "Mom she's getting into ants!!!" By the time I was across the yard, she was beginning to cry. She had stuck her hands down into the "dirt" pile. We stripped her immediately, poured vinegar on the bites, then...
...we redressed her.
Yup, you guessed it, I was then bitten by the little devils.
Needless to say, she was re-stripped and the clothes have been burned.

Who knew those little things could be such buggers!
ouch! Poor Olivia!
Ouch! poor kid. That's going to hurt for awhile.
Get some Benedryl spray and spray on her bites. That helps to take the sting away.
I definitely don't miss the ants! Poor Olivia! and you too.
baking soda paste works really well for the pain too.
Did Oliva put in fist in fire ants or did her mother sit her down in fire ants and then left her there (or wasn't watching her properly)? We are calling CPS and offering to be the foster parents so she will have greater love and protection.
Poor thing!
OH, I am so sorry!
