Red ants clutch their prey with the pincher-like device on their head and sting with the stinger located at the tip of their abdomen. The pain is quite painful and can remain painful from minutes to several hours.

∙ 7y agoRed ants (fire ants) attack by anchoring themselves by biting the skin, and then stinging repeatedly.
They usually attack on mass and it is said that they swarm onto your skin and sting like fire!
Fire ant stings appear as groups of swollen red spots that develop a blister on the top. These stings hurt, itch.
Some unlucky people can have a dangerous allergic reaction to stings and need to seek immediate medical help.
Fire ant stings should be washed immediately with soap and water and the application of ice helps with the initial stinging sensation. The stings will eventually diminish over a period of a week or more.

∙ 12y agoIf a queen ant bites you make sure you wrap something around it and go to the doctors and get it checked.
The question is "What happens" not "What do I do", and the answer is that you'll get a red mark where the bite is and if it's venomous there will be a burning sensation. If you are allergic to bee stings then YES you should go to the doctor, but only if you are allergic or have suspicions that you are allergic.
