According to the Forth Worth Star-Telegram, Dallas Cowboys fullback Lawrence Vickers had to leave practice for a bit after finding out he literally had ants in his pants.
It isn't very good for Vickers, since he is allergic to them.
“I was doing the play,” Vickers said. “I was running, and I was blocking someone. Then I walk off, and I’m like ‘oh snap.’ And I pulled my pants down to see, and I saw ants. As soon as I got bit, I was like ‘no,’ because I didn’t want to freak out. I wanted to pull my pants down and run inside, but I couldn’t do that.”
It was reported that he took a shower and put on some Benadryl before he was good to go to head back on out to the practice field.
Vickers usually carries around Epipen with him in case of these emergencies. Since he is allergic to them, he starts wheezing and his neck swells up.
He got quite a scare, but at least he's okay.
