Thread: red ants attacked

Here's a list of possible remedies I found:

* Topical steroid cream such as a 1/4% or stronger hydrocortisone cream.
* Baking soda and water (thick paste)
* Bleach and water (half and half) I do NOT like the sound of that one!
* Meat tenderizer and water (thick paste)
* Alcohol
* Ammonia alone, or alternately applying ammonia and hydrogen peroxide with two rags, cotton balls, or paper towels.
* Vinegar. (This is the suggested solution for use with box jellyfish.)
* Crushed aspirin (thick paste). May help even after a day.
* Salt (thick paste)
* Tea Tree oil (may also be good for other insect bites, such as, chiggers, fleas and mosquitoes)
* Aloe jell
* Dishwashing liquid
* Freshly cut onion

All of those are immediate relief ideas - no idea how effective they'll be after time - I'd go to a doctor if I were you. I really would. Sounds nasty.
