    Espinoza acknowledged that Rogers did yell about ants, but he told KPRC that she was lifted from the ground seconds after she alerted the officers to the insects.

    And what? They continued to let ants bite her face? She had no less than 50 bites I’m sure and ants don’t all arrange themselves and then shout, “Bite… NOW!”

      You know, as someone who has stepped in a fire ant pile and not realized it, I am pretty sure they do. They make sure they are all well spread out, and then bam. Not that it makes any difference to this story. Just wanted to pass along my very painful experience.
