For me, I think it was when I was playing in the yard, and saw one of my mom's pots of dirt for her garden, and I thought "yeah this would be good to dump on my lap"

It was full of fire ants. Big, angry, north carolinian fire ants.

I was covered in red welts and all I remember is screaming at the top of my lungs while my mom sprayed me down with a hose

Oof, this happened when my family went tubing down the Delaware River. It was the first time in my life that I was grateful women's bathing suits include a top, as I got burnt horribly, but I didn't end up with as much burn as the guys in my party all did. My poor, Canadian boyfriend looked like a tomato at the end.
