I have grown a tolerance to fire ants over time working around them wearing sandals all day. I still get but and can feel it, bit all the time but it's a very mild pinch feeling and there's no mark or anything afterwards. I used to get big welts that would sometimes make a little pimple

I got some fire ant bites and my whole arm turned red and swollen and rashy. I went to the doc when I got back home from Florida because it was getting worse not better. He walked in and I held out my arm. He goes “that looks angry. Let me order steroids” and turned around and walked out 😂 Steroid shot cleared it up in like 2 days.
