[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 315551, member: 487"] Or ant stings can get worse with each sting, it depends on the individual who has been stung. All species of Myrmecia (bulldog ants) can cause anaphylactic reactions in susceptible people, the jack jumper just has a more potent venom. There is actually an antivenene that has been made for jack jumper stings and it works very well. I saw my mate have a bad reaction to a jack jumper sting while at his proprty near Cooma, the sting sites were very swollen and he started having trouble breathing and his throat started swelling, was just about to get him to hospital but he came good after about 15 - 20 mins. He carries an epipen too now. [/QUOTE]
