That happened to THor a few months ago. It was terrible and I felt so bad. He was laying in a red ants nest. They bit him all over his face and he started acting really weird. I didn't know what was going on at that point so I picked him up and the ants started biting me!! I got him inside and brushed off a ton of ants and he face swelled up so much. I called the vet because I was so panicked (after hours vet) and she told me to bring him in to the could get him started on an IV! I was like what? I think she was just trying to get my $$, I thought an IV was a bit excessive! So I just watched him carefully and by the morning his swelling had gone down. It was scary but now I don't feel bad about killing red ants!
