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? :confused:
 
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.
 
I have many a tiny little scar on my feet from stratching them open in my sleep. They're nasty little things.
 
If you can, don't itch it. I OTOH always itch and pop mine :scared: . The Fire Ants love me - I always have multiple bites at all times, LOL. Hate those little buggers! :mad:

::sigh:: But it's itchy!!! :lmao: I guess I should put some oven mitts on or something. :rotfl: Will it go away in a few days?

Actually, I do have a bunch of other regular ant bites on my legs to distract me. :lmao:
 
Try rubbing a little Amonia on it, it helps take the itch out if you get it applied in time!

Good Luck!

They take up to a week to heal somtimes.

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?
 
Black Fire Ants?:eek: :sad2: They are red here in Texas.

I hate them.:scared:
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. :eek: 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.
