Recently my mom got a sandbox for Benjamin and the other boys when they are older. Day one in the sand Benjamin stepped out right into a fire ant hill. Mom paniked and put Caleb down immediately and got right to Benjamin brushing off all the ants and undressing him completely to make sure they were not on him. Well in the few seconds they got on him, they got him pretty good.. I would say he got a good 60 or so bites on his feet and a few on his legs. Mom felt like the worst grandparent, to which I assured her that this situation could happen to any of us when we were with Benjamin and that things like that are bound to happen. Anyway here are the pictures the best you can see them... the top one is of all the bites just after they happened. The bottom picture was taken one week after it happened. They didnt' ever seem to bother him. For a few nights we did baking soda socks for him to wear. We just coated his feet in a baking soda paste and put socks on and let him sleep like that. It was suppoed to soothe it. My mom did this for me when I got chicken pox as a child. I had them the worst on my feet. Anyway he is fine and healing well, I just wanted to post it for memory sake.
