N2  - The imported fire ant is a major insect cause of generalized hypersensitivity in the southern United States. The alkaloids in the ant's unique venom also produce substantial morbidity due to local reactions, both toxin- and IgE-mediated. Immunotherapy--with whole body extracts as well as with venom--is given only to patients with systemic reactions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
