If you are wondering whether they leave any part of their body such as their mandibles embedded in your skin, then no. They do inject a poison, however. Unlike many other ants, which bite and then spray acid on the wound, fire ants only bite to get a grip and then sting (from the abdomen) and inject a toxic alkaloid venom called Solenopsin, a compound from the class of piperidines.
