Fire Ants Almost Kill Central, LA Kid

Reported by Logan Leger on Mon, Jun 15th, 2009 in News and tagged: , ,

I saw this article on FoxNews.com about a 13-year-old boy who almost died because of fire ant bites in Central, LA. The boy was in the ICU and his heart stopped twice. I’d say that’s a close call with death. They don’t have an accurate report of how many times he was stung, but the count is way north of 200.

Fire ants are dangerous, so stay away, OK? Also, click through to the article to read some ridiculous statistic on how many people get bit each year by fire ants. (How do you measure something like that?)
