Kaelan stepped in an ant hill a couple of weeks ago and really had no strong reaction, just a, "Oh, man...MOM!" came out of her mouth as she approached me. I was shocked to look down and see a literal "ant boot" covering her leg and foot. Long story short....she sustained somewhere between 75-100 stings on that one leg and foot. She ended up taking huge amounts of Benadryl, steroids and antibiotics to get the whole thing under control....here comes the yucky pictures...be thankful...these are after a few days of healing!
Well....just as we got over the hump with this battle....she fought another ant war yesterday when she once again was attacked by fire ants....mostly on the same foot, but only about 20 this time. We have no idea where the ants came from....could not find the source...all we know is they are definitely after her. Hopefully, the three visits from the Bug Guy and my stern warning will keep them away for the time being while she heals. Did I mention I FRIGGIN HATE FRIGGIN FIRE ANTS????
