I've got ant bites, what do I do?!
Question:
I've got ant bites, what do I do?
On Monday, before I went swimming, I got bitten by ants on my left foot. I have one an inch down from my big toe, and another one between the 2nd and 3rd toe. I've been having this problem. I think the puss spread to nearly cover my whole foot. It looks swollen and can sometimes hurt when I walk. I've tried to squeeze the puss out of the bite, but that hurts like CRAZY! What can I do to heal this while not seeking hospital help?
Answers:
Get in a warm tub of water..scrub the bites with a rag and a bar of dial soap. If you cannot pop them that way then stick them with a needle dipped in alcohol. after you pop them put neosporin ointment on them. They will heal then. My daughter laid her arm in a fire ant bed when she was small and that's what her doc said to do. They healed just fine.
