[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1340967, member: 24027"] I inadvertently sat on a fire ant mount when we lived in TX. Wearing short, baggy running shorts. 'Nuff said =(. Since ticks were brought up I would like to remind everyone to please, please be diligent about spraying with Deet & remove any ticks as soon as possible. I'm sure everyone is familiar with Lyme & Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever but another tick-borne disease is known as STARI or Southern Tick Associated Rash Illness. I'm intimately familiar with this disease because I had it two years ago and now have to start a 2 week regimen of Doxycycline every time I get bit by a Lone Star Tick. My symptoms were not exactly as outlined in the attached CDC link and my symptoms didn't appear until 6 weeks after my bite (as opposed to 6 days) but I thought my head was going to explode & it was the first time in 20 years my husband had ever seen me cry in pain; Doxy plus Vicodin & Tylenol 800 is the only combo that worked.
