>has anyone out there had experience with fire ant bites on horses.

Hi! I've had my horse get bites from fire ants. I applied aloe vera gel
and that seemed to help a lot with the swelling and redness. Make sure if
you use the aloe vera gel that you get one that is 100% and doesn't have any
alcohol in it (I really had to look around to find some without alcohol). I
also use this on mosquito bites.

Will be interested to see what other people use too.

Hope this helps!

Karen
