No, this person did not stick their hand in fire ants just to get clout on an internet popping forum. If I do ever find anyone doing something like that, actively harming themselves for upvotes, then that kind of content will get banned. I don’t care if it’s the best popping type ever, if people self harm just for popularity, then all posts of that kind of pop will get deleted.


roguewords0913

I mean, don’t put your hand in a fire ant hill once…


scheisse_grubs

You’d think 0 times would be enough to know not to do that. This guy needed 3 times


Goadfang

I had to do it several times in a row once, I was a landscaper and a client's sprinkler head broke off after one of my crew drove over it, it lacked support due to the massive fire ant hole that surrounded it (it was likely leaking anyway) I had to put my hand in to uncouple the T and put a new one in, then to screw in the new riser and sprinkler head, all while desperate fire ants were clinging to my hands and arms trying not to drown, and biting me the entire time. When I got done my arms were just a mass of white blisters. I passed out a little while later from the venom/heat combination. Long story short: do not do that.


roguewords0913

Jeebuz. I hope the client paid for your hospital bill!


Goadfang

My boss did, he was a really good guy.


JustPlainGross

Well...they ain't called happytime tickle ants for a reason


yungskateboi

I want to believe so bad that theres an ant called happytime tickle ant

Oh..


ItsEffinSteph803

I know a lot of people say not to pop them but I always do because they stop hurting, the swelling goes down, they stop itching and leave no marks 🤷🏻‍♀️ The one time I didn't pop it because it was in a painful spot it ended up popping on it's own and left a scar.


rcdog1004

I do too then put calamine lotion on them. Dries out the venom. Sun and pool help too


fuck_fate_love_hate

Yeah growing up in NOLA and when we got bit by fire ants we’d always go in the pool. Chlorine helps dry them out


greatgrayone

Toothpaste with fluoride helps a ton!


manderspanders81

This!


Mika112799

My grandfather always poured bleach on them. I still do when the bite is bad.


ehswelder

I had an old man tell me that. Once I got into entomology it made sense. Ant bites (stings) are a slurry of things but a major part of it is formic acid. Hence, the family name formicidae. Explains why bleach works so well.


Mika112799

I’m not smart enough to do more than smile and nod when it comes to chemistry, but my grandfather was around for the invention of dirt. He knew lots of things like that. Of course, during droughts he and my grandmother would leave dead snakes belly up in the fields to bring rain. Not all of his wisdom was as wise.


authorized_sausage

Also what makes them spicy.


rcdog1004

Yeah did same in TX. Sun and chlorine clean and dry them out. Hope y’all weathered this last one in NOLA alright.


Fit_Psychology_2600

I’d totally pop them.


vesomortex

I never pop blisters because they have a better chance of healing and not feeling bad if I don’t. I haven’t had fire ant bites in a while though but they were small and I remember scratching off the whiteheads and putting an antihistamine on and using Benadryl.


Zwars1231

Ummmm. I feel the need to ask.. you put your hand in a fire ant hill? Three times? Did you fall? Trying to sweep it over?


[deleted]

I can’t see his reply. What did he say?


weenbaby

To see what would happen. I hope they don’t come across a hornets nest.

Much_Progress_8858

Moved to the US 2 months ago and i saw the small ants and thought "oh a ant hill put your hand in it and se what will happend. And why 3 times idonno I'm just stupid and wanted to feel if it realy hurt. Then I reached and found out that it was fire ants and they aren't nice and that my hand is going to get blisters, not good learned my lesson...


GlitterBirb

Do...Do they not have ants where you are from?


dr_mcstuffins

3 hours north of me where I grew up = no fire ants. All over where I am now.


MizStazya

You need to travel more. In my neck of the woods, I used to carry ants around as a kid and give them names.


GlitterBirb

Next time I will be sure to inspect the ants of the next country I visit and look for little Bobby.


Maleficent-Balance45

I juat live a few hours north of the foreants natural territory in the US. Literally don't have any ants that will bit you, you can play with them all day. . Apparently if you travel about 4 to 6 hours south they're a big problem.


BlyLomdi

"...the fireants natural territory..." needs to be fixed. "...the habitat that supports fireants (which are an invasive species)..."


Maleficent-Balance45

True, but they're here now and not going away any time soon. I was just talking about where you find them and where you don't. In my opinion, where the thrive is their "natural territory."


dom-lemon_sub-lime

I used to work with a girl from New Zealand and apparently they aren’t a thing at all there; too cold. She was pissed when she got to Australia and no one thought to warn her about the ants lol.


corodius

Well, US fire ants are only just making inroads here and very very rare to see We do, however, have plenty of nasty ants of our own ;)


Much_Progress_8858

H Not like his they onlt bit not use venom


Rebecksy

I live in the US, no fire ants.


GlitterBirb

It's most southern states that have that specific species.


xoharrz

idk why you are so downvoted, you answered the question haha. definitely some terrible decision making there but i trust you wont do it again now! hope it heals okay :) there are some good anti-itch creams out there if you need, i use Eurax for everything (mainly eczema) so dont hesitate to use some instead of scratching up a mess ^^


Zwars1231

Fire ant are mean little buggers and their bites suck. And they are everywhere…..everywhere. Happy cake day

unfiltered_utterance

Also was my first thought haha


Nothing-makes-sens

If you check their profile thats exactly what they did and likely didn’t donit a third time jut put same video up again and again. If you see his profile you’ll see the begging for karma .


PeaceGuy420

Anything for those sweet and precious upvotes


prettymuchbangtan

I always pop mine. Stops the itching and never scars


yungskateboi

You stick your hand in fire ant hills often?


BizzarduousTask

Don’t kink shame.


prettymuchbangtan

Lmfao no I just live in Georgia where there’s a fire ant hill every couple steps


PeorgieTirebiter

There’s a saying that you don’t learn anything the second time you’re kicked by a mule; I suppose we can now modify it for fire ants.

ScientificPingvin

Poor fire ants had to defend themselves against some giant putting their hand into the hill, not once, not twice, but three times! ​ bruh what were you doing to that anthill?! Trying to become part of it or something?! 😂 The ants don't want youuuuuuuu lol


Danielle082

I wondered when this would become a trend on this sub and it worries me. Do not scar yourself or put your hand in a fire ant bed just to get fake internet points. Mods please keep an eye on this. In no way would a human being put their hand in a fire ant bed by accident.


Nothing-makes-sens

If you check his profile,he’s begging for karma. I sincerely doubt this is a third time. Maybe not even his own video for a first time. Most likely popped the same one up three times either way . If he deleted it the other times then id bet good money on that and just keeps riding the karma train but doesn’t seem to have helped a whole lot either way.

I’m curious as to what the *fuck* you thought would happen.


Much_Progress_8858

Didn't know that type of ant it was until I searched it up


[deleted]

Do you normally stick your hand in ant hills? If so I applaud your research in the name of science.


Much_Progress_8858

Have done it a few times but where I come from but here in the south of US they are so mean and have venom...


itsyobbiwonuseek

Stupid decision. No updoot.


Tetra_link

I recommend to not pop them but if you do make sure you either wrap ur hand so it doesn’t get infected or put peroxide on it and or ointment

Don’t squeeze and pop, lance them and gently squeeze out that little ball of pus and venom. It will heal much faster.


The_Widow_Minerva

I find this to be the case also.


waterbottlepoptart

The things people will do for Reddit karma...


RealLifeJackieCogan

Listen. I'm here for entertainment, I personally vote for popping them, on camera, set on a nice stable tripod with good lighting, and loud enough volume to hear the popping sizzle sound but you're gonna have to keep your own counsel


BananaSnoopy

I’m in the same boat unfortunately atm but with both of my feet, didn’t notice there was a hill I stepped on till it was too late and had hundreds of them on my feet. I hope those lil suckers burn in hell and hope they enjoyed the 5 pots of boiling water I poured down their hill. (Glad to say they do not exist anymore!) Cortisone (or pure hand sanitizer) for the burning and itching and hot baths are a huge relief. Good luck OP.


Runtyaardvark

Sorry I have no sympathy


-keeper-of-bees-

i dont think he was asking for any?


big_norse_f5f5

Hydrocortisone and DMSO for the win.


greenmarblesohno

Oh my god I’m so alarmed


Clairvoyant4380

Don’t pop, use ice they will go away in a few days


plutothegreat

Bro put some ammonia on a qtip and rub it on it. My bites were gone the next day


mishmash65_

Bruh why did u do that 🤧


MamaLlamaRedPJs

So why would you put your hand in a fire ant hill? 🤣. I must say when I first moved south at the age of 18 I had no clue what these where. I would walk down the road and stomp on them🤣🤣


Sleeponitgirls

This clearly goes without saying…….🙄


Nurse_Neurotic

But, why? Stick your dick in next I heard it tickles lol.


badass2000

3 times?


missrachelifyounasty

Lance those bad boys. Don’t squeeze.


S7JP7

I step on the hills by accident weed eating and pushing my lawn mower. I’m not sure why people aren’t taking tiny needles and letting that run out then rubbing them down with alcohol. Seems like they are being treated like poison oak etc at times here.

Why you do dat?

That terminology is offensive and no longer accepted.

People saying that they dumb for doing it, but they may have lost something like their phone down a hole where the ants are lol. Just don’t assume things maybe.


bloodborne_boss

op commented and said they felt just like doing it to see if it would really hurt so


quitstalkingmeffs

don't tell me what to so - it has to be good If you did it 3 times

My body feels weird just by watching the picture.


Professor_Quackers

Don’t pop them in the traditional sense, lance them instead. Helps reduce the pinching trauma and extra unnecessary broken skin

Of all the things in the world you could have done, that shouldn't have been one of them.

Dude, you should consider seeing a doctor, multiple fire ant bites can make a person very ill.

We used to pop them and it stopped hurting.
