This video is not as long as I wished, nor as close to the iguana…but as I stepped on to the grass to get closer to him, I started feeling burning pains in my toes. Turns out I was standing on a bunch of fire ants, and it started hurting really bad. (You can see the camera go all jerky when they really start biting.)

When I was really little, I got both my feet bitten by a lot of Texas fire ants. I had walked through their anthill on accident. I was barefoot.
The only thing I really remember from it is sticking my feet in ice water to try to make them feel better.
I hope you fared better than I did at such a young age.
