Warnings of a potentially dangerous underlined level with news and social media news this week. You can be forgiven to think a new threat came. But this insect, the Asian Reutle Ant (BrachyPonera Chinensis), not new – just a master of staying no reason.

The ant to focus after the University of Georgia (dry) etomologist Dan Suiter issued a warning that the disposal of it could be an intense allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. The ant is not new or spreading any faster than before, SUITER said. However, as an entomologist of the dry cooperative entomologist, he took calls about people who fired ant and needing hospital care. With the summer of the whole flow, the insect active, and people are likely to be in the woods or their gardens where they meet in knowing the species.

“During this time last year, I called three calls to people awakened by an Asian Reutle Ant-they knew it was a needle in Asia anaphylaxis“As the suiter. The problem, he added, so insects are small, black and nondescript.

Asia’s ontle pange is native to Japan, Korea and China. It has come to the US around or before the 1930s, may be on ships and livestock “to the theresa of theresa in the Wircinia, according to the underlying community scenes. that was farther westward than Missouri, maybe because it was badly adapted to the rough conditions, Dellinger said.

Studies know that when the needles of Asia ants move to a place, they do not take on native ants, Reduce the Diversity of Ant.

These ants do not lie down pheromone paths To lead their food colony, so you don’t see them marching a line like a little black ant (Minimum minimum). However, if a needle bird is found food, return it to a colony, remove a worker and physically carry it to the jackpot, an entomologist to North Carolina State University.

And unlike Fire AntsAsian shoulders do not build big nest mountains. However they love the nest of wet wood, such as fallen logs or wet mulch. While they are not more aggressive, they will clap To protect their nest, which makes them danger to the house gardener.

Their sting was initially more painful than a fire fire, Hayes said, but also upset steadily, like fiberglass under the skin. The pain can also come and go. Hayes’s two-year-old son two years get a scent. The little boy was fine after a few minutes, Hayes said, but after awakening after midnight that night weeping pain.

In their native range, Asian needles in Asia contain a 2 percent of anaphylaxis at a 0.5 to 1.5 percent of the rows from the rows of fire, Hayes said.

So how do you react when you see a suspected Asian needle in Asian? Slowly flick or brush it, hayes and suiter said. If you painted it, try to get the ant for identification purposes if you can (even maybe it’s too easy). If you start to experience hives, swelling of lips or tongue or difficulty breathing, go to an emergency room because these symptoms are signs of anaphylaxis.

If you suspect there are Asian Assumes in your property, you can snap a good picture or collect a charm to submit to your agricultural agriculture, the suiter said. Ants’ ants have no centralized maps, but the suiter says he is more likely to target public additional research. Identification is more important for those who have bee allergic reactions and anting the past. “If people have a family member suffering anaphylaxis and know it, and they carry an epipen,” he said, “This is how this ant appears to know what this ant looks like it.”
