It is funny how until the invention of ~~fire ants~~ firearms, almost always the best weapon was a pointy stick.

Then firearms happen and we learned to throw the stick very quickly.

Fire ants are also a viable biological weapon, knew a guy who had a nest of the things thrown at him. Poor bastard had to take an alcohol bath to get them all off.

Who threw them and when? If it was an angry little half-Indian girl circa 1989, my wife is going to be deeply satisfied.

Nah it was back in the early 2010s and it was done by some dude in my class who promptly had the piss beaten out of him the next day, he changed schools the following week because the fire ant thing was a low blow and everyone ignored, was hostile, or in my case I snuck laxatives into his drink because nobody would snitch on me for it.

At summer camp when I was like 8 a camper stood in a fire ant nest without realizing it and had bites ALL up and down her legs. I remember a couple of older kids hauling her to the counselors while she was just screaming, crying and unable to walk from the pain. Watch out for fire ant nests, they will fuck you up!
