An Alabama family is in mourning after holding a double funeral for a mother and a grandmother.
The two women died less than 24 hours apart.
Kalyn Rolan was in Selma, Alabama on May 20 making funeral arrangements for her mother, Roberta Lynn.
Rolan was on a haystack talking on the phone when fire ants came out of it and attacked her.
Family members told WSFA that Rolan was severely allergic to fire ants. She started swelling and couldn't breathe. She died in her husband's arms.
According to WSFA, the Alabama Department of Public Health Center for Health Statics that three people died from yellow jacket or bee stings and one person died because of a snake between 2013 and 2015. No one had been killed by ants during that period.
