They're also a menace in Texas. I've only been bitten by one measley little fire ant but, the blister that raised from his nibble took months to heal.

They're almost as bad as the tree ants we had in Nam. In Nam, they would gather out on the end of a tree limb and hang down over a trail. You walk by and brush up against the limb and it was like water flowing onto you. An immediate covering. You just hoped there was a paddy or stream close by to jump into. Water was the only way to get them off of you.
