I got bit by a black fire ant on Friday night. Now there's a bump filled with yuck on the spot. Is it better to leave it alone or drain it and put Neosporin on it?
leave it and DON'T ITCH it. If you drain it, it will just refill. Let it run it's course. Take an antihistamine or get some anti-itch stuff to put on it.
If you can, don't itch it. I OTOH always itch and pop mine . The Fire Ants love me - I always have multiple bites at all times, LOL. Hate those little buggers!

Ok- will do. I'll have to do it when I get home from work, though. Any other remedy suggestions? We're going to a friend's wedding on Wednesday and spending Thursday walking around looking at museums and walking along the beach and generally just taking our time coming back home. Should I put anything on it for all the walking?
Yeah! I didn't know what it was at first- just that it was bigger than the normal ants we have here in FL and it had pinchers b/c it latched into my foot. It hurt like a beast, too! I now know why they call them fire ants. We looked it up online and found an ant that looked like what got me. Then, when the blister thing formed, it confirmed it for me.
