rumak Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 make a paste with some baking soda ( easily bought in supermarkets) and apply to the bite as soon as possible. A few times a day for a day or two will help immensely 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badrabbit Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) You should visit a Doctor or go to the Hospital if you are worried about anything, adverse reactions to anything can be serious! Why take a chance especially if its a Child! Fire ants can also cause a variety of health problems in humans, ranging from simple stings to anaphylaxis and death.

rickudon Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Fire ants are reddish brown and quite small (about 3-4 mm). Never needed hospitalisation but stings painful and leave a white blister. Of course, many other species here - 529 by one count. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also larger black ants, that the title suggested, are just as bad or worse. The wife keeps warning me whenever she sees them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a tropical climate. Ants and other insects flourish and are everywhere. If you need a hospital for every ant bite you are ngmi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
