Ant bites or sting – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1105358607

The bites of many species of ant may cause local reactions in human skin. Certain ant species inject venom into the skin which, in the case of bullet ants and fire ants, can produce intense local pain and swelling. Anaphylactic reactions to ant venom are uncommon but well recognised.
