I seriously can't even imagine being bitten over a hundred times by fire ants. I'm not sure I could stand it. I reached into a hay bale once and about 10 or so got on my hand. Those @$%@ all wait to sting at the same time, so that more of them are on you when they do that. They all stung at once. I thought my hand got electrocuted, its literally like a shock and then comes the pain. Then the itch. Its a painful itch though. And your skin and nerves just jump. You can't stop yourself from tearing up your skin.
Its truly horrible.
When I see a bug or other animal swarmed by fire ants I just can't watch. I think that has to be the most awful death. And I absolutely believe they kill calves and other animals. There aren't many animals I hate more then those dang things.
Well Spiders. I don't like spiders much at all. Ok. I fear them and run away screaming. But I still hate fire ants even more.
