No, you shouldn’t be worried. Fire ants hurt, but they’re not life threatening or anything.

I was stung by fire ants when I was younger and my symptoms were usually just pain and a little swellling. Each person’s body can have a different reaction to it though.I don’t think you should worry too much about it unless your symptoms start getting worse, which may indicate an allergic reaction. I have been stung by fire ants, scorpions, wasps,bees,and spiders. The worse for me was the Wasp which stung me in my face and caused my entire face to get swollen and it turned purple too. I had an allergic reaction to the wasp.It was so swollen I couldn’t see with one eye it was that bad. The other stings had no symptoms aside from the pain after and during the incident.
