Tread With Caution – Every U.S. State’s Deadliest Denizens Finally Revealed
Fire Ants in Texas
As if it’s not bad enough that Texans face the danger of hurricanes, there are dangerous flood-adapted fire ants that may be transported in the water. These venomous ants, native to South America, can form mats of up to 100,000 ants looking for a dry place to rebuild their colonies.
Aggressive and territorial, these fire ants will sting and bite anyone threatening their colony, leaving a painful burning sensation on the skin and causing infections. Those allergic to their venom can develop abscesses and dangerous skin infections.
