Oh, yuck.  I got two ant bites on my left foot four days ago (about 1/2
inch).  Now I have to put up with them for another 10 days?????  If
anyone wants ants, I can do you a real favor.  I must have 20 different
colors/sizes of ants here, and there must be 200 ant hills in my yard
(over one acre in size).  They bite my dog and make him crazy (he can't
seem to see them, so stands on the nests!).  They taste nasty.  I tried
them out decades ago.  They don' even SMELL ok.
