By Stephanie Watson
Sept. 4, 2018 -- In May 2015, Jackie Shelton, a public relations professional and mother of two in Reno, NV, noticed a rash on the back of her leg. She'd been working in her yard and thought nothing of it. Then she awoke in the middle of the night in excruciating pain.
"The pain was emanating from inside my leg and radiating up to the surface," she says. "It was like fire ants inside my body, on my nerves."
