I have no idea an ant bite could be so painful. I literally yelled. See, I was helping my dad move stuff behind the house around the backyard, when this humongous black ant bit my toe. Seriously though, it was really pain. Excruciating. Felt like my toe got cut off. I think that was what it was trying to do, trying to chew my toe off.

Tiny little bugger

So what did this little insect do to my leg? My left foot exactly.

Bugger bit my foot

See? Left foot bigger than the other.

I thought the bite was nothing. Came nightfall, my toe was numb. Two hours later my whole left foot was numb. Not to mention swollen. So I thought, hey, let’s wait till tomorrow and see what happens.

Swollen, even worse.

I hate bugger. Stupid bugger caused this.

Then again, the yellowish hue was not due to the bite. It was because of some medication I applied. BUT the foot was DEFINITELY swollen and even worse than the day before. My foot felt so tight like the skin was wrapped around too much meat.  Never thought ant bite could cause such inflammation.

Luckily today the swell has subsided somewhat.

Oh well, at least I have immunity to the toxin now.
