Cowboys Fullback Leaves Practice Due to Fire Ants in His Pants
By Jason McIntyre
"“I wanted to pull my pants down and run inside, but I couldn’t do that. When those ants get close to those testicles, there ain’t no laughing about that.”"
Now that your laughter has subsided, it is important to know Vickers was stung by fire ants four months ago and his neck swelled up. He’s allergic, apparently, and now carries an EpiPen around with him in the event he gets stung again.
The solution this time was Benadryl.* [Dallas Morning News]
* Benadryl is the best. The two times I’ve gotten allergic reactions from Sushi – once I couldn’t stop sneezing and the other time (which I’ll never forget happened during George Mason’s win over UConn in the NCAA tournament), my eyes swelled up – Benadryl did the trick.
