Some species, such as fire ants, can do even more by injecting venom that swells and turns red and itchy. Red ants are famous for leaving raised welts and a stinging sensation. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fire ant venom contains compounds that can disrupt cell membranes, and cause skin irritation. Most bites cause a minor reaction, but an ant bite allergy reaction can include intense itching, hives, and anaphylaxis, a very serious reaction that needs urgent medical attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/acaai.org\/allergies\/allergic-conditions\/insect-sting-allergies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACAAI<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) reports that insect bites, including fire ant stings, cause an average of 72 deaths annually in the United States.
