I was moving plants around and cleaning up our front area. I dug my hands in the earth and it felt like I had glass pieces all over my fingers. I quickly went inside to wash the area. I couldn't see anything. 10 minutes later my fingers began to swell. Its been about 10 hours and my hand is still very swollen and there are two sting areas. One on my pinkie and one on my middle finger. My fingers and knuckles are still very swollen and pretty painful. Now that I'm starting to feel them again its starting to itch and burn on those stung areas. I saw a black and yellow centipede, like the picture, in the ground shortly after along with fire ants. I don't know what happened but I pray it resolves soon. I hate my life on Benyadryl. I'm not sure it helped the swelling earlier but at least I was able to sleep.
Lesson Today: Wear Gloves when Gardening! DUH!
** Update: Well, they are only FIRE Ant bites and they are forming those little puss pockets finally. After a day of swollen hands they are finally starting to ITCH like crazy! I ONLY have 4 bites but man I must be allergic!**
