You sure it was an infection? My mother is allergic and that is what happens to her.

My "worst" memory of fire-ants was right when they reached Houston around 1970. We were playing T-ball and the kid on the pitchers mound was standing in a giant fire ant mound. All of a sudden, he runs off the field. He was covered in fire ants. All up in his shirt and uniform
