The termites than fly around looking to start new colonies do not. The soldier termites and the worker termites can bite, but do so only in defense, and they have no venom. It's unless you'll get bite unless you are disturbing a colony with your bare hands.

Termites do not bite. Not other humans and animals, at least. They eat wood, but to eat wood, they must "bite" the wood to take it apart. So technically, yes, they bite, but not living creatures.

Termites absolutely have members in the colony who can bite, not only that they seem to use some kind of chemical weapon. I discovered this after leaving a pile of timber under my house for a year and had to destroy the colony that colonized it.

The damage to my arms and legs was severe and I decided to take a photo even though the attack was a month ago.

The first three weeks there was low pain but blisters formed 5 or 6 times a day, then round blisters changed shape to a hard point and then burst.

After a month the blisters are subsiding but have become much more painful especially when taking a shower it seems to affect my nerve endings at the location of the blisters. hope this is of scientific interest. billbarrett.911@Yahoo.co.id
