<div class="IPBDescription">evil evil ants....</div> Football practice
Morning
Break time (w00t)
Put helmet down
Get water, pick helmet up, walk to my group, ready to continue.
Put helmet back on.


Well....felt something scurry across my scalp, then extreme sharp pain. My lineman coach noticed me making a face, and then asked whats wrong. I saw a small b;ack shape move down my nose. And bite. Then my entire top of my head was aflame. "ANTS IN MY HELMET!!" I yelled....I paniked, tried again and again to yank it off, succeeded by bashing the bottom of my faceplate off and ripping my helmet off my head, then proceeded to run around slapping at my head....which was full of Army Ants......GAH!! Least I got practice off <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    army ants live in rainforest and travel in moving packs of thousands, devouring all in their path.


    that said, im sure the ants in your helmet must have been pretty startling <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Ooooh I hate fire ants so very very very much.

    We don't have normal ants in Texas, just fire ants.

    It's OK if you get one or two random ones on you, but if you ever set in a mound you're screwed.

    What happens is they all swarm up on your but DON'T bite. They wait until there are 500-600 on your leg (you don't feel them btw), and then all bite at once.

    It sucks.

    This is why the outdoors is bad. Exercise is bad. Stay at your keyboard. Your computer loves you. It would not trouble you with insects of any kind. Well, ants happen to live in my cable modem, but that's another story...

    damn that sucks. I once had my legs covered with baby leeches. I was just floating along in the river, and when I got out I was covered with little green gummy things. The ones that had turned brown had already started sucking. As annoying as it was though, leeches don't hurt one bit. Of all the ways to have your blood sucked by a parasite, leeches are probably one of the nicest.

    they are one of the cleanest as well, used in medicine for ages, still are

    the only problem is getting the blood to stop once you detach them

    Hornets....hornets bad...very bad. Bees die when they sting...Hornets and Wasps? pffft.


    Hornets = Evil <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Wasps = Evil also

    Especially when they build a nest in the attic, or outside your front door, in the peak by the roof...blech. WASP SPIES! On a side note, don't let your cousin throw large washers at a bee hive.

    On the topic of ants...just the cool black ones here. Black ants bring out the violent torturer in all of us <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .

    Isn't it yellow jackets, and not hornets, that die after stinging?

    Man, mine was way worse. I had a sucker on the table next to my bed and for some idiot reason I woke up at about 2:00 AM and decided i'd have a go at it. Covered in ants. In my mouth. Some bit my tognue and the inside of my cheeks. Worst ever.

    I agree. If theyso much as get within 2 feet of me I start to swell up. And if I get stung I have to stick myself with like a 6 inch needle. Not fun. It hurts a bunch.

    Ephinefrine? (sp?)

    Heh.. yeah i hate bee stings... This one girl i knew was terrified of the things.. and she sat next to me.. She saw a bee buzzing around me, and it landed on my leg.. she was freaking out... i just said "calm down, it's fine" and the thing flew away, not stinging me..

    Maybe that helped her phobia? i dunno.

    No anything in the wasp family can sting multiple times, bees can only sting once then their stinger is literally ripped off from their body pumping venom into you and they die.

    GOD that was nice.. here in CA i was sitting in the grass reading, tanning, for like 15 minutes.. and the first bite i get is right on my ballzac.

    i mean.. w7f. just one more reason california is a sux.

    edit: omg... remember that thread, anyone, where the guy said something about him being scared of spiders? and someone promptly posts a fast-loading, huge resolution pic of a spiders fehs? that was mean.. but it was hilarious. almost takes my mind off the uncomfortable ant-bite welt in my nether regions.
