When Ants Attack
My older son had only been back to day care two days when I received a call at work. They were calling me to inform me that he had been bitten by ants. They didn’t want me to be surprised by how many bites he had received. Ok, so I’m thinking 10 to maybe 20 bites at most. When I pick him up his left arm look horrible. All the bites are concentrated around his elbow. The day care had continued to put after bite on them and a cool compress. That was good, but they should have made me come pick him up. When the hubby got home, he counted the bites. My son received about 52 ant bites. 52 bites people! That is WAY TOO MANY!!! I thank God he did not have a severe allergic reaction. Thank goodness the baby had a doctors appointment yesterday because I called and got my son in too. So now he has been getting benadryl and a topical cream several times a day. While I’m left telling him not to scratch. Am I mad at the day care? Hell yes! But what can I do about it now? The hubby said he was going to call and see what their plans were for killing the ants. Let’s hope this never happens to another kid, and most certainly NOT MY SON!
