On Saturday 09/14/2024 as part of my "Honey Do or Else" list I needed to take dirt from the backyard and fill in some areas around the foundation of the house to prevent as much water from getting into the cellar as possible.
As it was a hot day I was wearing shorts and a short sleeve shirt. As I was emptying the dirt in front of the house I noticed ants but I didn't think anything of it. About half way through I felt a stinging feeling. It has been 5 days since I put the dirt around the foundation and as seen in my pictures I have bites on one arm and both knees. I think I must have run into fire ants. It hasn't stung since Saturday but it gets very itchy especially when it is hot. If I have to do this again I will be sure to wear a long sleeve shirt and long pants.
