You might have a reaction to it, including a rash. But any effects probably will not last for longer than a week. If you do get a rash and it bothers you, you can get OTC cream that should help.\n\nMany ants carry tiny amounts of poison, which can't really do a whole lot to most people. If you get more serious reaction than a slight rash, contact your doctor as you might be having an allergic reaction.\n\nIn reality, don't worry about it. You're probably fine.

There is not really a thing like surface only ants, but there are ants which do mainly foraging. \nIf you just sweep up a bunch of ants around a nest and put them in your ant farm I'd expect them to behave exactly like you describe. They are away from their mom and feel lonely and depressed...\nAnyway, doesn't sound like you have an ant queen and brood in your nest. You also don't say anything about feeding them and giving them water. You should indeed read up on the poor critters before you mistreat them. They may be small animals, but they still are animals and need proper care. And ants need their own and complete colony to behave normally - and even then, ants underground don't have a reputation to uphold, they can be fairly lazy.

it could just be a spider bite, or another insect bite. i would get it checked out though. make sure you clean it with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide on it for the time being. and if you can get any OTC medicine that could help with bites that would be good. also its different in every part of the country and the world. so what might affect some people doesnt effect others. like it could be a scorpion bite. but it all depends on where you live. it may just be a rash though too. but i think its an insect bite.

Actually...I just remembered that I used to burn ants. My mother read me the Riot Act. And yes, I feel guilty now...I think I may need therapy...thanks pal!

you should be scared. the hobo spider (the agressive house spider) named after how it gets from city to city (by train) most of their bites are dry (no poison) and look no worse than a normal bug bite. But with poison by the next day it will burst open and create a ulcer at the site. if you fear you have been biten go straight to the hospital.

Probably not. You will be ripped apart in cross-examination by McDo's expensive lawyers: proving the ants got there while the drink was in McD's custody is difficult.\n\nAlso there will doubtless be CCTV pictures that may call into doubt your version of the story.\n\nBut I'm sure McDo will give you your money back for the drink. As you didn't actually drink it you can't claim physical injury. And ants are not as shocking as, say, a cockroach or an amputated finger. Nor is ingestion of domestic ants known to be poisonous.\n\nBTW, legally and scientifically ants are not "bugs". Or so I am told.

Actually, ants have been shown to suffer no ill effects when dropped from ANY height. Their terminal velocity is not sufficient for them to sustain injury.

Get that thing checked, some spiders are dangerous..\n\nNot to freak you out, some spiders will just give you a swelling and some discomfort and leave you alone with it...\n\nHowever only very few are lethal, or their poison can bruise up your body and well I think it kills your tissue.. So you bleed internally... Until you finally die or just bleed out and you have blood all under your skin which will soon end up on your bedsheets and such..\n\nJust get it checked, unless if you know the type of spider that bit you..

Almost certainly.Although it is a myth that if you touch it the mother wont like it anymore, you still shouldnt touchit. Only move it or handle it if it is in immediate danger, like in a road or being stalked by a dog.Also bear in mind that while still babies, many wild animals are inclined to explore for themselves and go off for short periods alone before returning to the litter.So the answer is probably.Keep an eye out and make sure that its safe, but from a distance.Dont hover.If it still hasnt been claimed by Mama in 12 hrs or so, and youre sure it is too young to be living on its own, call your local wildlife rehabilitator.The vets office may have the number. Good luck!

Sounds like a Staph infection, don't pick at them and go to the doctor, it's nothing serious but it can turn into something serious if left long enough, your doctor will prescribe a type of penniclin and try to keep them dry. no chapstick or anything it will only cause it to sting and hurt like H**L so DRY and Doctor right away

We had a problem with copperheads also and mothballs around the area work great!  Also chickens will kill them and cats.  If you get bit you just need to go to your doctor or emergancy.  Make sure you wear boots when walking about out there!

Not too much to worry about.\n\nYoung children who get scraped while playing, tend to re-injure that area.\n\nA Two year old is a very active age....No need to remind you of that...smiles.\n\nBefore you put your child to sleep, put a topical antibiotic Ointment on the wound, Cover the wound with a large bandage and and use adhesive tape around the bandage.\n\nChange the bandage in the Morning and continue this process for a few more days.\n\nIf you do not see any improvement, call your Physician for a consult. The Physician will examine the child or call in an Antibiotic to your local Pharmacy.\n\nGood Luck.................. Billy\n\nParent with Medical Training.

O look who it is the guy who has the fetish with Ants and being locked in his girlfriends room....your weird you should use all this time you have asking stupid questions doing something productive instead. Who cares if your an ant! honestly after reading two of your ant questions i would step on you and squish your ant body so you would stop asking these questions! Thank you!

Just imagine an army of ants with no queen. God Bless! quit the arrogance and realize all this beautiful nature was not created by chance or you. God Bless Love. Amen. Try praying and speaking to your Father God.

Sounds like whelps, maybe scratches from landscaping. You probably didn't even feel it when it happened. I get those when I carry fire wood in or help my husband clear brush, etc. Wash it good and put t a little neosporin on it, it'll be good as new!!
