ankles on fire!



I'm missing Florida's climate, but I am not missing the fire ants that simultaneously attacked me. The got my fingers, toes, legs and ankles pretty darn good. Want a good education on these creatures? Check this out. I like this excerpt:
There are more than five million Americans every year who suffer from fire ant stings. A person who gets stung by a fire ant will feel a sharp pain and intense burning similar to being burned by fire. Stepping on a mound means you will receive a lot of stings at once. Each sting will turn into an itchy blister by the next day.
