A) immediate application of urine
B) application of aloe vera gel
C) topical anesthetic benzocaine,
D) antihistamines

Answer: F 

Exposure to colony of fire ants may be fatal if it causes severe allergic  anaphylactic reactions to fire ant stings, but immediate and overall treatment is usually supportive. There is no specific antidote. If no immediate help is needed, human urine can be used for irrigation and to kill fire ants !!
