Fire ant is the world most dangerous Ant.





The venom of fire ants is composed of alkaloids such as piperidine, and the sting swells into a bump. This can cause much pain and irritation at times, especially when stung repeatedly by several ants. The bump often forms into a white pustule, which is at risk of becoming infected if scratched; however, if left alone, it will usually flatten within a few days. The pustules are obtrusive and uncomfortable while active and, if the sting sites become infected, can turn into scars. Additionally, some people are allergic to the venom and as with many allergies, may experience anaphylaxis, which requires emergency treatment. An antihistamine or topical corticosteroids may help reduce the itching.
First aid for fire ant bites includes external treatments and oral medicines.

• External treatments: a topical steroid cream (hydrocortisone), or one containing aloe vera.
• Oral medicines: antihistamines.

Victims who experience severe or life threatening allergic reactions to fire ant insect stings should visit a doctor or hospital immediately upon contact as these reactions can result in death. These more severe reactions include severe chest pain, nausea, severe sweating, loss of breath, serious swelling, or slurred speech^.
