Wu reminds us that fire ant venom is amazingly toxic. If, after being bitten by fire ants, you experience severe reactions, such as itching all over, a red, swollen face, an accelerated heart rate, difficulty in breathing, or chest pains, you should seek immediate medical attention. Be sure to tell the doctor that you suspect that you were bitten by fire ants.
吳文哲提醒，紅火蟻的毒性驚人，萬一被螞蟻叮咬後產生嚴重過敏，如全身性搔癢、臉部燥紅腫脹、心跳變快、呼吸困難或胸痛等反應時，要及時就醫，並務必告訴醫生是被疑似紅火蟻叮咬所引起。
