I lived for a few years in the far SE corner of Colorado. We had fire ants. Once while working the oil fields I stopped to unlock a gate across the gravel road. Taking the time to light a cigarette, soon I felt a mild "sting" on my leg. Then another, then another... Looking down my entire leg was covered in fire ants including up both pant legs. Stripping naked and collapsing into the truck, I thought I was gonna die. I did get pretty sick.
