The oinment is absorbed in the system along with the Benadryl you give them by mouth. Could be too much of a good thing. My sister was an ER nurse and years ago a young girl came in with chickenpox covered in Caladryl. They finally figured out what was wrong was that she was overdosed on the benadryl in the Calamine/Benadryl lotion. Be careful using Bnadryl and Benadryl ointment together.

A friend of mine gave me this scrub a couple years ago and I put it away, thinking I would never use it. One day my little girls came in crying from little tiny devil fire ant bites. Getting into the medicine cabinet, I found the Mitigator scrub and decided to try it. It worked so well! Bailey's tears went away instantly and it was as if it never happened.. I recommend that stuff!!! It's called Mitigator sting and bite treatment.. the website is www.mitigator.net. I now use it regularly. Fire ants are the worst.

Racoons, snakes, another cat that took a swipe at his mother...he was a bruiser. About the only thing he let into the yard was the neighbor's cat that he was friendly with and the fire ants. He never bothered with them. When I was living with my brother down in Florida near the beginning of the decade, he had a cat that would kill everything that came into the yard.

Not fun! Those things hurt - I know people who would rather get stung by a bee or wasp than by a fire ant. Now that I'm in Michigan, it's not even an issue. Looks like you did the right thing, though. Yay for instant information via the internet! -Adam When I was young I recall my sister accidentally standing in a fire ant mound in the back yard.
