Fire Ants Kill Winter Texan in the RGV

I was introduced to those suckers in Florida myself...went out to the toad late at night wearing only my shorts cuz I'd forgotten the sippy cups. Went to relock the car and realized my keys were in my pocket. Set the cups on the ground, locked the car and carried the cups into the coach. Realized something was on my stomach and saw ants. Next day was ugly...research shows the ants will swarm and when one ant gives the signal, ALL the ants will sting at once !....I now carry a container of fire ant poison on board.....Dennis
