Fireant

It seems like I’m always getting bit by ants, mosquitoes, etc. I ran across this web page and thought I would share it with others. North Carolina has a lot of fire ants!

I’m going to update this post to let you know which method worked best for me.

If you have a method that works for you, please comment below and share with others. Thanks!

UPDATE August 3: I had a mosquito bite and I immediately put toothpaste on them and it stopped itching! Try the toothpaste method. It worked for me.

UPDATE July 12: I used rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad and applied it to the bite and it took the itch away. Yes!
