Look at the ants. Fire ants include many opportunistic ant species of the genus Solenopsis. There are native and imported species. Native Texas fire ants are very similar to the imported pest, but actually help retard the spread of the imported species and should be spared if possible. Both native and imported fire ants are small, dark orange/brown ants with workers of various sizes that quickly mobilize and sting en mass when their mound is disturbed .

Other ants compete for food with fire ants and help keep them under control. If you kill all ants in your yard, you create an "ant vacuum" and after the next rain, it will be fire ant queens that land in your "safe" yard to begin new mounds unopposed by any other ants. Fire ants are better at colonizing and dominating newly disturbed habitat than the average ant species.

These are not ants, but rather a wingless solitary (non-social) female wasp in the family Multillidae. Females are wingless and typically colorful; males have wings. The common name for the group is "velvet ants." Here in Central Texas we have about 40 species of velvet ants, some small and some big. The "hiss" is called "stridulation" and is caused by washboard-textured body segments rubbing rapidly against one another.

Fire ants reproduce opportunistically when conditions are wet and warm. They are found in all types of soil, but they do better in open pastures and sunny, grassy places than in thick shaded woods. Grassy medians of freeway and mowed pipeline and powerline rights of ways provide prime "freeways" for the ants too. Polygyne colonies (those with multiple queens/mound) can reproduce by budding off new colonies and spread by walking a few meters per year.

There is a range of sensations that patients experience when they are having contractions; from essentially nothing at all to very painful menstrual-like cramps in the lower abdomen. We often tell patients that they can feel a "firming" of the muscles or a "balling up" of the uterus. The uterus becomes firm and can feel like a "ball" under the skin. Sometimes, a persistent, dull, low backache is all that can be felt.

You can make a plan and discuss it in advance with your family, your friends, your coworkers and, of course, your doctor. Then you can rehearse this plan, just like a fire drill. Keep it simple.

If you have any symptoms of a heart attack for a few minutes (no more than 5), call the EMS by dialing 9-1-1 right away.

The truth is that almost everyone is susceptible to getting seasick. If you're not sure, then you may not want to risk it. We would recommend that you take some seasick medication the night before your dive trip, and then again in the morning before we leave to go diving. The key is to take the medication the night before to get your body a good dose of the medication. Sometimes when people take it right before the trip the medication does not have time to take effect.
