to be fair they can migrate or be shipped across the world with produce. ex: the murder hornet while primarily located in east asian countries and as mentioned in the video to be located in the northwest have been found in many differing locations like the east coast, canada, and mexico. there is less of a chance running into them in these different locations but its not impossible so its good to have the knowledge no matter where you are.

Fire Ants are no joke. I've been attacked several times in South Texas by them. Accidently step on a nest and you'll know it quickly. Each bite is like a red hot needle being dug and left into your skin. In my worst encounter, the skin on my leg was so inflamed it became rock-hard for 24 hours. The worst part is the itching though.... my god the itching after the attack. You'd run a cheese grater across your skin without thinking twice.

I got stung by like 100 fire ants when I was a kid. I was playing hide and seek with some friends outside in the dark. I decided to lay down at the base of a tree. My arm felt like it was on fire so I got up and ran to look at it in the light. I was covered in fire ants, I have a below average pain tolerance, but the sting wasn’t that bad. Getting stung by one bee or wasp is worse than getting stung by 100 fire ants pain wise. Edit: also I’d like to hear more about Forrest getting D.I.C in South America

I remember as child back in the 50's , we had a Tulip Tree, ( Fairfield Iowa / S.E. Iowa ) the base of the tree, there was nesting of Asian Giant Hornets, we referred to them as Cicada Killers. Now I know why here in Oklahoma , when we feed we break up the hay and look and see if we have any extra surprises in the hay we feed to the dairy cows. Griggsvill IL Over the years, Griggsville built more than 5,000 birdhouses, which led to the town's nickname, "The Purple Martin Capital of the Nation." The Purple Martin Highrise of Griggsville, Illinois.. Griggsvill is located in W.Central IL. right on the Mississippi River. On Our farm we put up Purple Martin houses , we are on the shores of Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma, we also put up bat roost boxes, as they eat misquitos.

I was in the military and in the early 90s, I was stationed in Florida. Now I'm from Connecticut and you can go for a hike in the woods, Have a picnic, sit in the grass. Well, no one said anything and I had to learn the hard way of all the bugs and snakes that lived in Florida. I mean, if you just sit in the grass before you know it you're covered with ants, it's crazy. We were playing volleyball one day, and my friend went to dive for the ball, and he went out of bounds and landed head first in a red ant hill. He lived down South, so he knew he had to take immediate action. He just jumped in the pool and started scrubbing them off. Despite his quick actions, he still got bit up pretty good.

They didn't sting me though; were actually super chill.

This is an excellent video, thank you! Interesting thing, I am actually completely immune to wasp & bee venom. My daughter is as well, and so was my mother, my uncle, and my grandfather. The only thing that can be assumed is that since my grandfather was a bee keeper, he might have developed an immunity which was possibly passed down. Oh it doesn't mean a sting doesn't still hurt, there are just no reactions at all, no swelling, no redness, and it only burns for about 10 seconds. I got swarmed by yellowjackets and was stung hundreds of times. It made me angry, but no adverse reactions. I did however destroy the nest because it was in a location that house guests would often walk past, and I didn't want anyone else getting swarmed.

When I lived in southern Alabama, I developed an immunity to fire ant venom. On one occasion, while I was 8 months pregnant with my son, I stepped into a nest one night & was bitten several times. When my son was about a year old, he wandered into a fire ant mound, and was bitten so badly he looked like he had the measles. He never itched or had any ill effects from it. It’s been years since we were both bitten, so I imagine the immunity has worn off.
