Ant bites it seems can indeed lead to blood poison! That is one little fact that I did NOT know. It seems my little granddaughter is allergic to all kind of insect bites and two days ago an ant bite her on the top of her foot. Her mother put some cream on it and thought nothing of it. Last night it started to swell and turn red with lines running away from it.
The doctor has her on Benadryl and antibiotics and the little Munchkin is home with her foot elevated which is not something that any 4 year old child enjoys.
Guess we are never too old to learn something new, but that something as simple as an ant bite could be so dangerous would have NEVER crossed my mind!
