Fire Ants Attack, Kill Florida Man:
Death by fire ants may seem unbelievable, but the tiny insects killed a man in Chuluota as he walked his dog outside a home just off Old Christmas Road. Apparently the man was swarmed when he stepped in an ant pile. While there are plenty of the ants floating in flood waters, it’s a flooded road that prevented a quick rescue when Bob Cunningham, in his 60s, went into anaphylactic shock. Cunningham made it to a hospital, but died from his body’s reaction to the ant bites.
