I went out front to clear out some fern which was trying to take over our holly. Wore knee socks, long pants, long sleeved shirt and gloves AND had sprayed myself with bug spray. I did not work more that 15 minutes as this is Central Florida and it is still hot and humid. Despite my preventive measures, I have about thirty fire ant bites on my back, arms, neck, ears and front. I am allergic. So took my allergy pills and am headed to bed. There goes the tote bag I hope to finish today.
