Holy Cow Steve that's getting right into the shoot! Yer not supposed to get 
into situations of that nature unless yer getting paid great piles of money 
for taking the fire risk of being a "wild ant photo feast!" ;-)

I for one am absolutely glad you survived old buddy, look at all the future 
good fun visits we might not have had if the "ants had done you in 
completely!"  Bad scene my friend let's be careful out there when you know 
these critters are around. I bet you will after that kind of episode!:-(

Glad yer all A-OK!
