The black imported fire ant is a species of ant that is often called BIFA for short. It is native to South America but has spread to North America, where it has been found in several southern and south-eastern US states. Its sting can cause a red, swollen reaction, so it is useful to know it when you see one.1

How strong the reaction is depends on how many allergic (IgE) antibodies a person has already formed. People who have already built up these antibodies may react more strongly.1

  • Naaza era onyogoze ebifo ebibojjeddwa.
  • Omuntu bw'aba nga tassa bulungi, ng'azimbye mu maaso oba mu mumiro, oba ng'awulira ng'agenda kuzirika, buno bubenje bwa alergy obw'amangu: kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze.
