Be careful! Be careful when you encounter this kind of ant!

Recently, Mr. Zhou from Foshan, Guangdong went on a picnic with his family. When they were having fun, Mr. Zhou suddenly felt pain in his calf. He looked down and found an ant biting him. Mr. Zhou immediately flicked the ant away and washed the wound with mineral water. He thought it was just an ordinary ant bite, so after the picnic, Mr. Zhou went home directly without going to the hospital for treatment.

Unexpectedly, 5 hours later, he began to have rash and itching all over his body. Mr. Zhou thought it was a rash caused by allergies, so he took anti-allergic drugs. After taking the medicine, Mr. Zhou's rash gradually subsided, but he felt weak and chest tightness.

At this time, Mr. Zhou's wife finally realized: "This is not an ordinary ant bite. We can't wait any longer. We must go to the hospital immediately." It was already 8 hours after Mr. Zhou was bitten. After arriving at the hospital, Mr. Zhou had convulsions in his limbs, was unresponsive, and the ECG monitor indicated ventricular fibrillation. The doctor initially diagnosed him with acute myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation, and he needed immediate surgery. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou was rescued in time and recovered after more than ten days of hospitalization.

Tiny ants can kill people

According to the doctor, the ant that bit Mr. Zhou is a red fire ant. The ant's venom contains alkaloids, proteins and various enzymes, which can cause severe pain if bitten. People with allergic constitutions often have allergic reactions, and severe cases may even go into shock.
