Abstract
- The hypersensitive reactions to ant stings vary from local to systemic. Because repeated stings may induce severe skin reactions or serious systemic allergic reactions, the concerns about minor skin reactions by ant stings have been increasing. A 34-year-old man was stung on the right forearm by an ant. He experienced erythematous papules with pain, burning and dyspnea. The stinging ants collected from the patients skin and the ants resident in his garden were identified as Brachyponera chinensis.
