Fire Ants?! Well actually fire ants conatin a dermatitis like toxin that activates when introcued to skin cells and triggers a small alergic reaction, almost like a small jelly fish. Gathering a large amount of these and roasting them over a fire will nuetralize the toxin, but the flavor would be nasty. Im not sure of any recipes. Yes they are edible BUT make sure you do not have any serious allergic reactions too the ant because you can ends up suffocating from a swollen throat. Try carpenter ants, they are safer and taste better.
