zuzu said:Thanks, Ann. I wish I had known that a couple of weeks ago. I got stung by a wasp in my laundry room on my pinky finger and thought ice was all I needed. The next day my hand looked like a catcher's mitt.

We don't have fire ants here, thank goodness. Smiling


YVW Zuzu. I wish you had known too. One day I got raked along the entire length of the underside of my arm by a Saddleback cat. I can't even describe the instantaneous fire & intense pain. The pain came on in a nano second! Thankfully, I was about 10' from the back door & that was 5' from the kitchen where I kept the ammonia under the sink. I ran back outside with the bottle & literally poured the ammonia down my arm & did that a few times. Then I took a Benadryl & 2 Tylenol. 1/2 hr. later no one would even be able to tell I had an encounter with a Saddleback. Smiling

Thank goodness you don't have fire ants! Hurray!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
