I think my husband was bitten over 50 times it's gotten real bad in matter of hour the itching and burning he won't stop scratching he was sitting on the ground working on something and didn't realize he was being bitten til hour later when he wasn't on the ground anymore What do I do ? Hospitals around here in Florida where I live aren't very nice they treat people horrible.
