Not like, a poisonous ant or anything, I mean how many times has a singular ant domino effected itself into killing a human. Like knocking a napkin off the table that someone then slips on.
I’m not 100% sure, but my Aunt Carly probably killed her ex on holiday in 2014. They were engaged and she came back alone afterwards, and no one ever heard from the boyfriend and she refuses to talk about it to this day.
An ant not an aunt 😂
Ok this made me chuckle. I read it in Chris Pratt’s voice for some reason.
She inherited the rights to the ski mountain he owned right? She turned that laid-back cozy mountain into an exclusive expensive resort?
Hah, nope. Nothing like that. She’s actually very homely. She had all these books on myrmecology, but got rid of them after the trip. I think she may have put a fire ant in his food to cause his throat to swell up and asphyxiate him.
Carpenter ants can take a house down just like termites. Do that at the wrong electrical socket or load panel and it will cause a fire.
I bet it’s happened a number of times.
Not quite killed but managed to break my 90yo aunt’s hip. She went outside to take out the trash, saw an ant and decided to spray some insecticide to avoid getting ants inside, she bent over to spray, gave a step back, slipper caught on a loose floor tile and she fell down
OP writing for the next Final Destination.
There was a case of a fire ant colony SAVING someone’s life…… https://vocal.media/humans/joan-murray-s-miraculous-survival-the-skydiver-who-lived-through-a-14-500-foot-fall
I thought the ant colony acted like a soft landing spot. It’s the bite of fire ant and the resulting adrenaline that help her.
Anaphylatic shock from ant bites is surely a thing.
Yeah my first thought was do allergies count.
I saw a TV special about a doctor who healed someone with mouse bites.
I’m thinking what are the odds of someone asking this question.

Don’t give them ideas!
Oh, quite a few. There’s a colony that kills animals and people for their bones, then the ants basically build themselves around the bones like muscles. They act like one living creature. There’s a whole documentary on it.
a singular ant
Someone somewhere probably tried to poison some ants and their dog ate the poison and they felt so bad they did suicide probably
