 Fire ants rank right up there with mosquitos on the asshole scale. One bit me between my toes 😩. #PSA ants are asholes, too. 
 Chew up some plantain and slap it on there, it’ll go right away 
 The fruit (is it a fruit 🤔 the banana type thing...) or is that a plant? Plantain fruit-ish thing I can get 😂. My brain is a scary place, lol 🤷‍♀️😆 
 Plantago major is what I’m referring to lolz 
 😂  
 At least the fire ants are defending their home.  Mosquitoes bother you as a way of life 
 I can see a purpose for the ants, they eat things. Mosquitos serve no purpose as far as I can tell 😂😂. 
 i got bit about three months ago after opening the car door for my Wife. the jerks were on the curb.  >=[ 
 They are assholes 😡. I'm not allergic, but I guess I'm sensitive to them and the bites last forever and I have scars all over my feet from bites 😭.  
 ooof
yeah they got me three times on the ankle and twice on the hand. the bites lasted over a week.
literal demons 
 Cute band aids help. 
 Why are they called fire ants 
 Not exactly sure, but it burns like hell when they bite 🤷‍♀️ 
 That explains a lot actually lol 
 They're awful and I hate them. 
 Are they related to bullet ants?? 
 I think not. They're not that bad, just a pain in the butt.
