Is ant poisonous when eaten
1 answer
Most ants are not poisonous when eaten. However, some ants, such as certain species of fire ants, contain venom that can cause pain, itching, swelling, and allergic reactions in some individuals when bitten or stung. Ingesting a few ants accidentally should not cause any significant harm, but consuming a large number of certain ant species may result in digestive discomfort. It is always best to avoid eating ants and to consult a medical professional if you experience any adverse reactions after consuming ants.
