Maybe you could get the Chinese State Search Engine to pay the bill.
Always had good luck with vinegar for fire ants and jelly fish. Also have had luck peeing on jelly fish, just seems to take away the sting.
But don't tell the "Chinese State Search Engine" they don't need to know.

You have been stung by fire ants. See your doctor and let him/her see the pictures of the reaction you had. Follow their advice. Not taking action and you run the risk of Anaphylactic shock in the future.

They not only bite but also sting, not so easy to brush off.

Thank you Crash. Unfortunately a Dr. is out of the question for me. I have some phone #'s programmed so my Mom can let you guys know that I will no longer be posting.
Don't you need to see a doc to get an epi pen? At a minimum - if you get stung again dial 911 and go to the emergency room.

Wtrfwlr.. you do have to have a prescription for an epi pen. I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV.. but I did read an article where a young girl went into anaphylactic shock.. and a person nearby gave her a couple of hits from a primatene mist inhaler and the docs at the ER said that saved her life. I already put on here that my ER doc told me to grab some pepcid, that it would do the same as benadryl without the drowsy effect... but liquid benadryl is good too.. again I'm not a doc but these are some 'when there is no doctor' ideas.. Just be safe..

I never had any breathing difficulties of swelling of the throat it was just my skin. I just have a huge swollen foot and ankle with a whole buncha white pimple bites all over it. It should be A-OK here is a couple years or so! Jus Jokn! Thanks tons to everyone who has taken time to give suggestions and called to check on me! It really means a lot and Thank You!

Fire Ants are everywhere here in SETEX. EVERYWHERE! They suck big time and I give them a wide berth most times. Looks like these gave you a case of the hives which suck just as bad. Glad youre ok and let the doc get ya lined out brother.

I'd skip the ER, read EXPENSIVE. If you have a "Doc in a Box" close by they are MUCH MUCH less expensive. Give much the same care as well.

Thanks guys! I cannot go to any type of Doctor. I have no Ins. or any money so that is out. I could not even name a family doctor if I had to. I'm dealing with it at home and that is just how it is gonna have to be. It will be fine. I'm putting the Calamine on it and other than just keep it clean and don't scratch the crap out of it I'm doing good with it.

Go to the hospital, tell them you are 29 years old, no criminal record, and came to the US when you were 3. Be sure to use your best Equadorian accent. What's the problem? ?
