I am waiting for Jilli to do it first so I can get tips.
One of these days, I swear. Ooooh, maybe I'll wait for the OPI Halloween collection toncome out next week, and get the glow-in-the-dark polish for the base.

Oooh, use something like Frankenstein for the text.
I just sampled the Possett's Mary Shelley and I kinda am liking it in the first two minutes, so I am pro horror right now.

G-D it. I was at the park with friends and dogs, and stood on a G-D fire ant bed, and now I have a bunch of stings on my feet. I took Benedryl, but OMG THE ITCHING THE ITCHING. I hate those little fuckers. And yet, I refuse to wear closed toe shoes in the summer.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I lied, unintentionally -- I'm using L'Oreal Intense for Dark Hair. Yeah, so my natural color is brownish, but I figure if it gives a good bright red to Latina or African-American hair, it might deliver the intense color I want. And the box said it could be used on relaxed hair, and relaxed hair can be awfully fragile, so it shouldn't wreck mine.
And damn, y'all -- it was the REDDEST dye I have ever seen! Nosebleed looking. My super duper kitchen cleaning gloves are stained (couldn't find the friggin' PACK of thin latex gloves I bought 2 months ago for painting and dyeing.
20 minutes and I'll know. I bet the bathtub is gonna look totally Dexterfied!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
smonster, the Benadryl cream helps a lot more than the pills for fire ants stings, I've found.

Also soaking your feet in cool water with baking soda in it helps.

Don't have cream but I have some gel. Baking soda not helping, vinegar not helping, tried Nature's Miracle on the premise that it would break down proteins, maybe helped a little? Next up - using a hair dryer to heat up my skin. I'm think I might be getting itchy in other places, but I can't tell if that's just psychosomatic or if I'm starting to have a full-body reaction.

This is what I found, smonster:
First aid for the stings includes:
Disinfect bite with alcohol
Place cool cloth or ice cloth on sites for 15 minutes
Try dabbing the site with one of the following: diluted (1:1) bleach solution, Kleen ‘Em Away Naturally, calamine lotion, Enzyme cleaner or meat tenderizer
Consider a spraying topical (cortisone) or systemic (oral) antihistamine (e.g. benadryl)
Do not scratch the pustule because this can lead to infection
The natural course is for the site to burn for several hours, then over 24 hours a pustule develops with itching, and over several days if not scratched the lesion will slowly disappear. Scratching can introduce infection and should be cleaned with alcohol. Rarely (0.5%) of patients will have an allergic response immediately or over the first few hours. The symptoms of this are difficulty breathing, light headedness and weakness. If allergic reaction occurs immediate medical attention by calling 911 is indicated.

Thanks, Erin. I found similar info. I don't have bleach or meat tenderizer. The venom is apparently a mix of an alkaloid and a protein, which is why I tried the vingar and Nature's Miracle. I used the hair dryer b/c there are claims that the venom is thermolabile... I think it helped, actually! We'll see what happens. I've also got my feet elevated above my heart.
