Strange Experience.

I was reading Blue Horizon the other night and I came across something that I had experienced.
It was an incedent of torture, in order to get information out of a man, they tied him to a tree and put fire ants in his ear. He nearly bites his tongue off.

I can empathize. When we lived in the Solomons fire ants had just begun to show up they were an invasive species that had arrived via frieghter ship. At any rate unbeknownst to me a hive had grown up inside of my bedroom wall. One night as I lay under my light reading I felt something tickle my ear. I thought yuck some small mosquito or something has just flown into it. I got up and started to walk down the hallway towards one of my brothers (who was laughing at me because I was shaking my head like a reject). Then out of nowhere came this intense and blinding pain, I dropped to my knees and was just blown away by the intensity and ferocity of the sensation. Tears were rolling out of my eyes, I started ripping away at my ear to try and get it out again. When the pain came again, I thought I was going to go blind from the pain. Willie got a eye dropper and flooded my ear and we got the little fucker. I have never been as satisfied as when I squashed that ant. They secreet acid, so I had acid burning away at the inner part of my ear. God, I flinch just thinking about it.
