Black widow spider: Really big venom glands – although the black widow spider bite is seldom fatal, it’s the ladies that dole out the venom that is over 14 times stronger than that of a rattle snake.
Fire ants: The sting feels like fire – they should be called dragon ants. These very aggressive ants that will attack animals and can survive in extreme conditions.
Ticks: They spread diseases like babesiosis – these blood suckers can cause fever, chills, aches, rashes, and serious infection.
