In Arizona and New Mexico if someone loses consciousness and hits the pavement awhile they get life threatening burns. It’s crazy.

I met an old drunk outside of Phoenix many years ago who passed out on top of a fire ant colony for a few hours and woke up covered head to toe in attacking angry ants. It’s an inhospitable place!

Know a guy that lost his grandmother this way in Florida I believe.

Fell, couldn’t get up in their own driveway
