The first few bites when fire ants came to Texas hurt. The next few hurt less. Then they came to live in the walls of my parents’ house. I would get multiple bites every day and wake up with a dozen more after every night. It wasn’t that long before they didn’t hurt or leave a bump at all anymore.

Sounds like people who get used to chili and soon start seeking 3 alarm chili and 4 alarm chili...
I need this for mosquitos. They tend to go for my ankles and 1 bite is still fine, but as soon as I get 2+ the swelling up and itching just multiplies 10x.
