In about two minutes, my right foot was so swollen I couldn't get my Keds off... Holy-moley... those things are nasty.
I should have taken that as an omen.  
I'll take chiggers, black flies, and all that over fire ants.
Since then, I've upgraded to Husband 2.0 - the no fire ant model.  |
AW's right...the dreaded fire ants! So far I have been lucky and pray I continue, because I have heard awful stories! I guess they will cause you to strip right down without thinking twice about where you are... and head for a hose...and then, probably, the hospital! Yes, black flies are a better choice...in this discussion of bad choices!
