Dear Doctors: My husband and I were clearing weeds when I felt a sharp jab on my leg. I thought the weed whacker had kicked up a rock, but it was a bite from a fire ant. The pain was severe, as was the reaction. I got a huge lump, blisters and bright red skin. What can you do for fire ant bites?
After a day of skiing in December, my then-13year-old son made a pitch to me while we were sitting in a hot tub in Colorado. Surrounded by knee-deep snow, he asked if I would let him have his first social media app, SnapChat.
As I read over my last column, I realized it was as much (or more) about me as it was about Wayne Rogler, so I’ll try to correct that this time.

I’ve tried motion sickness medication, but it makes me feel like I am in a tunnel. Even the nondrowsy kind knocks me out to where I can’t function. What else can I do?
700 words Ideas about men and manhood have been evolving for more than 50 years, but Sen. Josh Hawley has not gotten the message.
