Anyway: have you ever eaten so many ants that you ended with a numb and/or tingling feeling in your mouth?
Please boost as we're curious what people's experiences are. It's also sciency.

@astridpoot @juliette @Pepijn So in fact the ants ate you.
-
@astridpoot Ai! That must've been a miserable experience!
Reminds me how 8, 9 or 10 year old me once picked up an interesting looking very round stone that got stuck in a tree.
And ended up holding a wasp nest. I think I got some kind of anti-swelling-injection at the doctor. -
@looopTools Oh sorry. I assumed the context would be clear.
Living ants indeed.
I assume that when you cook them the formic acid disappears?
-
@kas I *think* the formic acid (that in most species causes the sensation) is destroyed when you roast them.
Might want to try a couple living ones to compare.

@Pepijn I think I'll pass, I've stopped eating animals. But you may be right about the formic acid.

@Pepijn @juliette Lasius fuliginosus (Jet Ants in English, Orangemyrer in Danish) taste of citrus. I ate a couple when this was pointed out by a nature guide when I was young; this is the only time I have eaten ants, live or dead. I suppose citrus-y (IIRC it was closest to orange) could be tingling-like to some extent, hence the "more nuanced" vote.

@juliette @Pepijn No. But I have crawled onto a Texas red ant nest while in the Army (it was during an exercise and we were infiltrating a position). What I remember 40 years later is rolling around on the ground trying not to yell or curse while my buddies poured water on my to try and get the ants off.
