What to do for fire amt bites?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fire ant bites: Immediately move away from the anthill. Brush off the ants or detach them if they are attached with their mandible.Wash with soap and water and apply cold compresses,alcohol baking soda or meat tenderizer to the area. Take an antihistamine to relieve itching, but do not pop blisters. If you are allergic to the bites you run the risk of anaphylaxis.Use Epipen (epinephrine) or head for the ER for help
