What to do if an ant bites you and it swells?

If an ant has bitten, there's a pretty straightforward thing you can do. It might sound a bit painful, and might be really that. But it does pay off well in most solutions.
Has been known to speed up recovery when it comes to ant-bite, especially when it has swollen and it hurts a lot.
This method applies to when you've removed the sting, and the skin has swollen.
What you have to do is just get some cooking oil, a frying pan, and put the oil on it. Warm up the oil, by putting the gas on to simmer. When the oil gets enough warm, put some turmeric (haldi) in the oil. Then get some cotton, the medical one, that you would use when you get a wound, and absorb some of the turmeric-oil paste on the cotton piece. Be careful in handling it, because it will be fiercely hot. Now gently put the cotton piece on the are of the skin where the swelling has occurred, keep it until it cools off. Although it might burn a little, it does more good than it seems!
Repeat a number of times in a fixed interval of time.
Hoping for a speedy recovery, have a good day!
