Still Waters Posted December 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Red fire ants could wreak more damage in Australia than feral rabbits, cane toads and foxes combined, experts have warned in a new report. Originally from South America, the red imported fire ant is feared for its burning and potentially lethal sting. If not eradicated, it is estimated the insect could trigger up to 3,000 anaphylactic reactions in Australia each year. An independent review called for urgent action before it spread nationwide. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-38218119 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Greenman Posted December 9, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2016 We got them here in Florida. They are a joy, if you step on a mound they first just crawl all over you, so you don't notice right away, then they all bite at once. Their bites burn like fire and make little white bumps on your skin. They are nasty b*****ds that is for sure. You have my sympathy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
