Suggested protocol if fire ants are found on a patient

Suggested protocol if fire ants are found on a patient
If ants are detected on a patient, they should be removed and the patient carefully assessed. The patient should be transferred from bed and all orifices inspected. Medical personnel should use gloves to prevent stings.
* Ants are best removed by compression with a damp towel and wiping dead ants off with a damp cloth.
