While Cutting Grass Did Not See The Ants, Ants Flew

while cutting grass did not see the ants, ants flew all over on both my feet. its black ants big & small, 10 or more ants at left foot and between toes, and less than 10 ants at right foot. It happen around 7 hours
ago, i washed with hydrogen peroxide and alcohol after maybe half an hour cause its red and itchy. but now both feet are swollen. specially the right foot where big black ants bit it. I thought black ants don't bite only red ants. right now i wrap with cold face towel, i put vicks, i put cortizone cream still red and swollen. My husband wrap it with cut ginger. Its warm, no itching but still red and swollen. Am diabetic and taking pills glipizide and metformin. Am also have high blood pressure. What treatment can you suggest please. Thank you.
