Tiny Ants, Big Trouble: Watch Your Step!

Asian needle ants are popping up in 20 states and their sting can be seriously dangerous—think anaphylactic shock level for some people. They’re super tiny (about a quarter inch) and can even sting through clothes. You might run into them while gardening or moving wood, especially on the East Coast. They don’t swarm like fire ants, but experts say gloves are a must. If you’re allergic to stings, definitely keep an EpiPen handy! #InvasiveSpecies #AntAlert #SafetyFirst #Science
