Hello everyone.
My ant battle I thought is over until now. I am eating the leftover cookies of my son with coffee. I was munching and enjoying the cookies. Suddenly I felt that on the right side of my uper lip is a bit swollen. So when I look at the cookie container (which is sealed), there are some ants. And it bit me on my lips!
What do you usually do on the area when you are bitten by ants?

We have not had any ant infestations thankfully and have never been bitten by one! I hope you lips are not still swollen!

Usually for me, it has been my legs or my feet. Never had one close enough to my face

Summer is perfect for ants. Store food items in fridge and don't leave leftover foods for long time. Sometimes they even bit me while I sleep. Ants are enjoying their time. Precautions are necessary to prevent them.

Oh so gross! We get ants real bad as well. No carpenter ants yet but we do have some tiny ones coming in. We have to make sure everything is sealed up well in containers they cannot get into.

Depends on the area bitten but I usually don't do anything about it or I put some menthol solution.

I have never been bitten by an ant which makes me happy.

I can't remember the last time I was bitten by an ant. I probably wouldn't do anything but if it was on my lip I'd probably put something on it.

Nothing. Unless it's swollen or get infected, I would apply an organic murumuru butter.

Yikes! I hope you're okay, I have never been bitten by an ant before. But I use my citrus vinegar cleaner to spray in areas where ants are and that repels them.
