Not like, a poisonous ant or anything, I mean how many times has a singular ant domino effected itself into killing a human. Like knocking a napkin off the table that someone then slips on.

I cant find any real life examples of everyday normal ants, but considering how many of them exist on this planet - imagine if they wanted to…
I’m not 100% sure, but my Aunt Carly probably killed her ex on holiday in 2014. They were engaged and she came back alone afterwards, and no one ever heard from the boyfriend and she refuses to talk about it to this day.
She inherited the rights to the ski mountain he owned right? She turned that laid-back cozy mountain into an exclusive expensive resort?
Hah, nope. Nothing like that. She’s actually very homely. She had all these books on myrmecology, but got rid of them after the trip. I think she may have put a fire ant in his food to cause his throat to swell up and asphyxiate him.
Ok this made me chuckle. I read it in Chris Pratt’s voice for some reason.
An ant not an aunt 😂
none but

Don’t give them ideas!
Carpenter ants can take a house down just like termites. Do that at the wrong electrical socket or load panel and it will cause a fire.
I bet it’s happened a number of times.
Analphylatic shock from ant bites is surely a thing.
Yeah my first thought was do allergies count.
I saw a TV special about a doctor who healed someone with mouse bites.
Not quite killed but managed to break my 90yo aunt’s hip. She went outside to take out the trash, saw an ant and decided to spray some insecticide to avoid getting ants inside, she bent over to spray, gave a step back, slipper caught on a loose floor tile and she fell down
I don’t know. AskLemmy.
Someone somewhere probably tried to poison some ants and their dog ate the poison and they felt so bad they did suicide probably
Oh, quite a few. There’s a colony that kills animals and people for their bones, then the ants basically build themselves around the bones like muscles. They act like one living creature. There’s a whole documentary on it.
a singular ant
I’m thinking what are the odds of someone asking this question.
OP writing for the next Final Destination.
I’m pretty sure there is some evil and species in Australia that has killed a person or two
Like strictly a single ant or a whole colony? Because using ants as a torture and execution device was a thing.
Would allergies count as poison? 🤔 There was a woman in Georgia that died after being bitten by a fire ant due to a severe allergy in 2023.
I’m really leaning toward zero, but I could see someone overreacting to the presence of the ant and hurting themselves in the process.
I also feel like if it’s a likely enough event to happen once, then it might have also occurred multiple times.
In a court of law, the most the ant could get for this is manslaughter. Very likely though he would get off with a mere wreckless endangerment charge
I suppose it would come down to whether the ant was intending to cause distress or was at least aware that it could
Ant: “yes. AND I’LL DO IT AGAIN.”
locks eyes with the judge
She (most likely), not he
is it a red ant or a black ant?
All ants are black in the dark.
