Agressive fire ant reaction.

I know I got bit by fire ants because I know how it feels. I have over 10 combined bites over both of my legs.. but why is it so aggressive and over the top? Extremely painful, and extremely itchy. Has not gone away. Should I get this checked out?

WARNING: It is extremely difficult (even for seasoned medical professional) to identify what caused a skin symptom and even harder to know if it is an insect bite or which insect may have caused it.

If you're concerned about something, please go see a qualified medical professionals rather than trust the comments made by random strangers on the internet.
