Question:
What can I do to treat ant bites?
This morning i woke up with ants crawling all over me...there was a hole in my windows that they crawled through...the devoured my left leg, and luckily that's the only place they bit me. I have about 20 just on my foot, and about 5 scattered on my leg. They sting so much, it hurts to walk...what can i do to treat them? Is there any kind of lotion, herb, etc. that i can use on them?
Answers:
Lotions - with lidocaine (to numb the bites) and hydrocortisone (to reduce inflammation & itching).
If you are having a strong reaction, take an oral antihistamine - Benadryl
Tylenol, Motrin, Advil etc for pain would also help.
