There is a new invading species called the "raspberry ant," that bites. Supposedly doesn't bite as badly as fire ants, but you apparently have a stronger reaction than most. Anyway you might want to google them, they're very destructive and it might be good take care of the problem if they're already in your yard.
Good find, I hadn't heard of those ants. I don't think mine were as tiny as these, but who knows. Maybe they grew on their trek from Houston to Austin. I did have a lot of bites and didn't notice them so it's possible, though when I stood up I wasn't swarmed with them as I'd expect from the reports on these little terrors.

If I was this guy, I'd be dead!
