Red imported fire ant

Mphamvu ya ululu

About 95% of its venom is made of water-insoluble piperidine alkaloids called solenopsins, and the rest is a mixture of toxic proteins that can be especially strong in sensitive people. Most stings cause intense burning and swelling, followed by sterile pustules (small fluid-filled bumps) that can last several days. In some people, a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis can occur, with dizziness, chest pain, nausea, severe sweating, low blood pressure, shortness of breath and slurred speech.1

Between 0.6% and 6.0% of people may suffer anaphylaxis, which can be fatal if left untreated. More than 80 deaths have been recorded from attacks by this ant.1

Ikalasa
- People who only have pain and pustules need no medical attention. People who develop anaphylaxis need emergency treatment with adrenaline. Whole body extract immunotherapy is used to treat people who are allergic and is regarded as highly effective.1
- Sambitsa ndi kuziziritsa pamene walasidwa.
- Ngati munthuyo akuvutika kupuma, nkhope kapena khosi zikutupa, kapena akumva ngati akomoka, ndi vuto ladzidzidzi la ziwengo (allergy): imbira nambala yadzidzidzi.
Nthawi zonse yamba wayimbira nambala yadzidzidzi (112, 000, 911). Awa ndi malangizo wamba a chithandizo choyamba, osati malangizo a dokotala. Zoyambira za chithandizo choyamba
Khala wotetezeka
- Usakhudze, kugwira kapena kuseweretsa nyama yakuthengo, ngakhale yaing'ono, ndipo ngakhale ikuoneka ngati yagona kapena yafa.
- Ipatse malo. Ukakumana nayo, khala chete, bwerera m'mbuyo pang'onopang'ono ndipo uilole ipite njira yake.
- Ikakulasa: khala chete, usasunthe, imbira nambala yadzidzidzi (112, 000, 911) kapena pita kuchipatala mwachangu. Kumbukira m'mene inkaonekera, chithunzi chimathandiza.
Sikufuna kukuvulaza. Imagwiritsa ntchito ululu wake kugwira chakudya kapena kudziteteza, ndipo imakonda kwambiri kubisala. Zambiri za kukhala wotetezeka

Mfundo
When water levels rise, these ants build rafts to float on.1
A single mature colony can contain between 500,000 and 2,000,000 individuals.1
Over 1,800 scientific papers have been published using its name, and it is one of the most studied insects on the planet, rivalling the western honey bee.1
Workers dispose of scraps and dead ants on refuse piles outside the nest, a behaviour called necrophoric behaviour.1
Workers can live for several months, while queens can live for years.1
Kuthetsa nthano zabodza
Nthano yabodza: The name "fire ant" comes from fire or burning nests.
Zoona: The name comes from the burning sensation caused by its sting.1
