When a fire ant stings, it injects venom that causes itching, swelling, and redness of the skin. Discomfort occurs as a small red welt appears, followed soon by a clear blister. The fluid in the blister may turn cloudy, and the area begins to itch, swell and become painful. Learn how to deal immediately with a fire ant sting, determine whether you are having an allergic reaction, and treat the sting to ease the swelling and pain. If you are experiencing shortness of breath or tightness in your throat following a fire ant sting, seek immediate medical care.
