Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Hmmm, might this be what caused it?

Today I'm moving some stuff from the side of our sofa and there's about 20 ants walking round on the carpet beside/behind the sofa. This part of the room touches a brick-built fireplace, which I think is hollow - perfect for ants. There's quite a biggish hole where some cable has been run through.

So, maybe the big lumps on my arms/hands were ant bites, and the rest an allergic reaction to that? They just look like normal ants, not red ones. I've had everything up off the floor and vacuumed behind and under everything, and I'll (try to) go get some ant stuff tomorrow. I'll also get some brown sealant stuff to stuff the visible hole up.

Other than that anyone have any ideas if allergic reactions to ants is common, and any tips to get rid of them? Tomorrow is now going to be a SUPER cleaning day - everything surface in my house is going to be spotless, every fabric washed, every piece of furniture moved and hoovered under!!
