Ants are a class of arthropods, which is considered the most advanced evolutionary among the insect family. They live on all continents, with the exception of harsh and cold areas, since at low temperatures the ant falls into hibernation. The murle bite can create serious health problems, because they distinguish toxic enzymes. But only some species pose such a danger. What and where dangerous ants live, as well as instructions with recommendations in the event of an ant bite will be given in this article.

What ants are dangerous for humans?

Ants are unique and highly organized animals. Only they have complex social groups. Moreover, they have a division of labor and even have a system of self -organization - ants form caste of females, males and labor. There are more than 13 thousand species of such insects, only about 300 varieties live in Russia.

Therefore, the oral bites can be different and have distinctive symptoms. It is worth considering dangerous and common species in order to arm yourself with the necessary knowledge.

Important! There are no poisonous inhabitants on the territory of the Russian Federation. But do not forget that, like any wild insect, an ant can become a carrier of infections and the cause of some ailments.

• Black garden ant - This is the most famous appearance. By the way, they often settle in houses. The size of such ants is from 4.5 to 5.5 mm, but females can grow up to 11 mm. The color, respectively, is black or dark brown. Often on the body you can see villi. It is they who make bulk hills as houses.
• Home or pharaohs ant - This is a resident of apartments and houses. Especially likes to eat crumbs and sugar. Reaches a maximum of 3 mm, the color is brown. Their poison is non -hazard for a person, but they carry various infections in your housing, since they often crawl into a garbage bucket or garbage chute.
• Forest red ant Lives exclusively in forests or gardens. Among other representatives, its dimensions are the largest-7-11 mm. A characteristic color is a red-brown color, while males have a black color with reddish legs. This species is distinguished by large anthills, and a family of up to 1 million individuals can live in it.

Symptoms from their bites:

The homemade ant bite very rarely. Unless as protection. The bites themselves are low -consumed and do not cause any special reactions. Black ants are already biting stronger, approximately like a mosquito. But the red ants will cause the greatest discomfort.

• The place of the bite becomes red, swollen a little and itchs terribly. In no case do not comb a bitten place! Most often, the area of \u200b\u200battack of such animals is limbs. But they quickly move around the body of a person, so they can attack in the pelvis or back.
• The sore spot is also often accompanied by a slight increase in temperature and the appearance of a rash. Biting, the insect produces ant acid. It is not dangerous for a person, but with a bite of mucous membranes or when it gets into the eyes, the risk of complications increases.
• As a rule, after 2-4 days, all symptoms pass.

Symptoms of bites of the most dangerous ants. None of the representatives live in Russia.

• Ant Buldog. The non -distinguished and inconspicuous ants seem to be such only at first glance. No, they differ significantly from domestic ants, but we are talking about comparison with their relatives. They are large - up to 3 cm with a typical, but bright ant color - brown, black, red or orange (it all depends on the subspecies). The habitat is Australia.
  • But here the poison of such an insect is considered the most dangerous for humans. This ant not only hurts, but also causes strong allergic reactions in almost everyone (due to the complex and unusual active composition of the poison).

• • There are more deaths from Tasmania from this insect than from spiders, snakes and even sharks taken together. About 3% of bitten patients experienced anaphylactic shock.
  • It is very difficult to guess a person’s reaction, therefore it is almost impossible to predict it. The bite of such a murant, or rather the strongest allergic reactions after it, can lead to death.
• Ant-Pules. It has a black or brown -black color. The length reaches up to 2.5 cm, and the sting itself has dimensions up to 3.5 mm. He received his nickname due to the fact that the pain from the bite remains for 24 hours (hence the name of the ant), and is equated with a bullet wound in sensations. This is the merit of Ponerotoxin, which is part of their poison.

• • In addition to terrible pain, the place of the bite is still swollen and paralyzed. The blackening of the bitten places is also observed.
  • The general condition of the body worsens significantly. Chills, weakness and headache are possible.
  • From mass bites of such ants, a person may die.
• Fiery or red ants. They live in a tropical area - South America, but they can also be found in the USA, Europe or Asia. This is a great danger - they can move to other continents and easily adapt to new conditions.

• • The ants themselves are small enough in 3-6 mm, with discreet reddish-brown color. And, as you can see, the name of the ant was not for the color, but for the power of the bite. It is equated with painful sensations after open fire.
  • But the most terrible is poison. For people with allergies, it can cause death.
  • The place of the bite is very swollen, which leads to the formation of tumors. It is accompanied by severe itching and burning.
  • Not only people suffer from them, but also pets, as well as representatives of wildlife.
• Yellow ant It has small sizes (up to 7-8 mm) and yellow-red color. Such insects live in Arizona. The bite is also considered very poisonous and from one ant can die up to 2 kg.

• • A strong tumor, itching and pain are observed at the bite site.
  • A person may develop unpredictable allergic reactions, especially in those who are inclined to this.
• Nomadic ants or siafu, or soldiers. Their habitat Africa and South America. An important feature of such insects is the lack of permanent housing. They are constantly on the way, getting food along the road, and the sphere from living populations represents their house. They have medium sizes - up to 1.5 cm, but representatives are found and up to 5 cm.
  • They are also distinguished by powerful jaws, which are larger than the size of the head. They need such a structure for food extraction, which often exceeds several times the dimensions of the animal itself. This also becomes the cause of painful bites.
  • Interesting Facts! They create their house with the help of working individuals that are interconnected by claws on the legs. The size of such a “nest” sometimes reaches 1 m, resembles an egg in shape. Inside this sphere is the queen and brood.

• • Their danger to a person is a little exaggerated. Yes, they like looters destroy everything in their path, but they will not attack a person unnecessarily. But take into account the fact that they move only in colonies, therefore, they will attack everything together.
  • The bite may be accompanied by itching, redness and swelling, but deaths are not registered. Allergic reactions may be accompanied.
  • Often the cause of danger may be that nomads carry some types of ticks with their colonies. And the latter are already harmful to people and animals.
