My buddy Don came in to work this morning covered with huge red welts. I’ve never seen anything like it. Like a bad case of hives, but worse. They were fire ant bites.
Don’s paintball team went to Texas this weekend to compete against a team from San Antonio. Everything was going great until Don unknowingly rolled across the ground to evade an attacker and landed in fire ant hill. He had to lie still for about 15 minutes or his cover would be blown. Meanwhile, the fireants crawled all over him and bite him repeatedly.
He’s taking Benadryl and Advil for the pain, but his sacrifice was worth it, as his team won the tournament.
