It's bleach, right?
I've seen ants in Panama an inch long and as thick as my thumb.
Wow taking out ruler - my thumb is about 3/4 of an inch (about 2.25
cm) in width. That would make this an almost *square* ant! Squick!!!
One bit one of the guys and we found him unconscious about half and
hour later in shock.
Was he allergic,
Probably at least a little but he never knew it.
or was it a venomous ant?
Yes but not normally fatal, a bee is venomous, they told us in survival
training it packed a good wallop.
Did he survive?
Yes, I don't know if he would have if he wasn't medevaced though.
Remind me not
to go to Panama!
Its a jungle there. Triple canopy jungle as a matter of fact.
