A fellow in our park put his knee on the ground while washing his car. He won't do that again. It looks awful.

I put my hand on the ground will lowering the spare tire on my wife's minivan when she got a flat. I got bit about 3 times on my fingers. Fingers and toes are the worst place to get bit.

Now that I've been biten a dozen or more times, it doesn't hurt much anymore.

Fire ants attack to protect their nest, not to feed like Mosquitoes. I don't think Off would help. Avoidance is the best protection.
