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

Kako jo prepoznaš

Black in colour, as its name says.1
Its sting leaves a sterile pustule (a small blister with no germs in it), surrounded by a red swelling.1

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: It was once thought to be a colour variety of the red imported fire ant (RIFA). It is now known to be a separate species with a different range and different living habits.1

Moč strupa

Piki

Strup pride ven skozi želo.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

Stings cause a sterile pustule surrounded by a raised, reddened swelling (wheal), with redness spreading beyond it (flare). The venom of this species may cause a more pronounced wheal and flare than the red imported fire ant.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

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

Če piči

Pike umij in ohladi.

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če te piči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti
