Hey Heather, your body is probably just reacting to the ant bites with some redness and inflammation, which is ok!. But if your skin is warm to touch or the redness around the bites starts spreading or streaking you could be developing cellulitis and that require antibiotics!. Also, if the place were you were bite starts having purulent drainage then the bite has become infected!. Also a fever would be a sign of infection!. Here are some pictures of cellulitis and some info!. If you still arent sure go see a doc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
