This is what happens to an autistic child who doesn't feel a lot of pain.  He gets bitten by ants and can't feel it happening.  So he can have ants crawling all over his body and not feel it until it starts to itch.

Look how red his shoulders, neck and ears are.  The white stuff is baking soda; he soaked in a bath with it and it helped.
