I realize I haven't posted in a while, but at 5:00 this morning I was inspired! So let's back up a little bit and tell you that Saturday morning I was pulling weeds and happened upon some angry fire ants. By the time I realized what was happening I had six bites on my foot and ankle. Ouch!
This was a good experience to have because this happens to the kids on occasion and I give them itch cream and keep on them not to scratch. Little did I know that those things make you want to scratch the skin right off your body! So this takes us back to this morning when I woke up at 5:00 with a crazy itchy foot!
What I have learned about ant bites is that it itches more when it is hot and humid, that leaving air conditioning makes the itching start all over again, and that prescription strength itch cream will help. This was all good for me to learn since Morgan seems to find every ant hill possible. But it also gives me some empathy for the kids when it does happen.
If you have any cures please share!
