Fire ants suck...

Fire Ant, NBII

I have spent the last three days comforting a very sick little Auron.
He sat in a fire ant mound outside our house and got between 15 and 20 bites before I could get all his clothes off of him. He ran 103 degree fever and was miserable for three days because of it. Poor guy.
The doctor said it wasn't an allergic reaction... just a reaction.
Needless to say, he plans to avoid ant hills in the future.

I just hate those stupid fire ants. There must be a reason for them, but for the life of me I don't know what it is (except to make you miserable) Tell Auron, Antsy is made at those stupid ants and I am so sad for him.

armywifeada - He will be happy to know he can get more sympathy (his Mommy is running on low at this point) :)

G.W.B. - I will tell him. One of the many things we will not understand till we can ask HIM ourselves, right?! :p

Stephen - UM, Wow. Where to start? Thank you for the orange juice tip, I thought any type of food would just attract more ants. I can see this is something you feel very strongly about, but I had no intention of putting poison out for fear my kids would get into that too. I applaud your passion and snicker at your slightly shameless marketing technique. More power to you Stephen, and good luck with that!
