I don't think there are many native or long term residents males of the SE USA that haven't at some point experienced the fire ant dance. I have never had as many bites as Jim but I remember back about 1980 leaving a closed tire factory in Tupelo to go to lunch. I had a trainee trailing alone, he got a good laugh when I pulled he car over to the side of the road and jumped out and started swatting ants pulling my pants legs up, sock down trying to get them all. If there had been a new crew present I would not have cared. IMHO, fire ants have replaced kudzu as the worse import to the area.
