对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

The tropical fire ant is a small ant that builds mounds in open, sunny soil. It is native to the Americas, including the Caribbean, but has spread through much of the tropics with human transport. Its venom can cause severe allergic reactions, so it is important to know what it looks like and where it lives.1

Nests are built mainly in soil in open, sunny areas. They form craters or mounds up to about 60 cm wide and 30 cm tall, with up to about 20 entrance holes per nest. In places where they have been introduced, mounds can be very dense, up to about 2,500 to 3,700 per hectare.1

怎样认出它

  • Builds craters or mounds in the soil, usually in open, sunny places.1
  • Each mound can have up to about 20 entrance holes.1
  • Mounds can be found in groups of 10 to 80 per acre in native habitats, and far more where introduced.1

蜇伤

毒液通过蜇刺出来。

它的毒液会造成什么？

The venom is a mix that includes the lipophilic alkaloid solenopsin, a fat-loving chemical and a major part of the venom. Its venom is comparable in power to that of the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta). It can cause severe allergic reactions, especially anaphylactic shock, a sudden and dangerous whole-body allergic reaction.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

Its venom is comparable in power and dangerousness to that of the red imported fire ant. Its allergic reactions, especially anaphylactic shock, can threaten human survival.1

如果它蜇人

  • 清洗并冷敷蜇伤处。
  • 如果这个人呼吸困难、脸或喉咙肿胀，或感觉要晕倒，这是过敏急症：拨打急救电话。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。 急救基础

注意安全

  • 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
  • 给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
  • 如果被它蜇了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

Its worldwide range is even larger than that of the red imported fire ant, another invasive fire ant.1

3

It can interbreed with other closely related fire ant species.1

4

It is native to the Americas but has spread across the tropics, largely through human transport.1

5

Colonies can have a single queen (monogyne) or many reproductive queens (polygyne).1
