TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Multiple stings by imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta), without systemic effects JO - Southern medical journal A1 - Díaz, J. D. A1 - Lockey, R. F. A1 - Stablein, J. J. A1 - Mines, H. K. SP - 775 EP - 777 VL - 82 IS - 6 N2 - This is the first case report of imported fire ants invading a building and aggressively attacking a human being, resulting in multiple stings. This case illustrates that, although the venom has a high LD50 in mice, it does not induce toxic systemic effects in humans when the venom is introduced intradermally.
