A 12-year-old Texas boy has died after
apparently suffering a severe allergic reaction
to ant bites while warming up for the second
half of a middle school football game. Officials confirmed Tuesday that Cameron
Espinosa died days after being bitten multiple
times by fire ants. Corpus Christi school district
spokeswoman Lorette Williams says the boy
used a water bottle to try and remove the ants,
but he eventually fell unconscious last Wednesday. He was taken to a hospital and
was hospitalized in critical condition. The
eighth-grader died Monday. The game resumed after Cameron was
transported to the hospital, but it was later
halted when the severity of his condition
became apparent. Williams says the boy didn’t know he was
allergic to ants. The district had no record of
allergies.
