How To Treat Ant Bites?
I sat on an ant farm the other day and I got attacked by ants. They bit my entire legs. This happened last weekend, and the ant bites are yet to be gone. They are going away, but I have tried everything and they are still noticeable. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them NOW?
