How do I treat a cow killer ant bite?

Answer by  lexuslady315 (635)

The cow killer ant is actually a wasp. Most stings from this hairy wasp come from getting too close. Clean the area of skin and use hydrocortisone cream, such as Benedryl. It will help with the swelling and stinging. An antibiotic ointment is good to use, too. Applying ice is another handy tip
