Oh, dude, technically you can eat food after ants have been on it. I mean, ants won't poison your food or anything, but like, who wants to chow down on ant-flavored snacks, am I right? Just give it a good shake or wash it off if you're feeling brave enough to still eat it.
While it is generally safe to eat food that ants have been on, it is not recommended due to potential contamination from the ants' bodies or any bacteria they may have carried. Ants can leave behind pheromones that attract more ants, leading to further contamination. It is best to discard any food that has been in contact with ants to prevent any potential health risks.
Ants differ in how safe it is to eat them. Most are OK, but have a sharp taste. Some kinds have been used instead of pepper (I would rather do without pepper, but if it suits you, all right).
Some kinds are not especially poisonous, but they have a very bad taste and smell when they get hurt, so you wouldn't want to eat them. Some kinds are quite poisonous, but I never have heard of anyone eating enough to get poisoned. Some kinds, like bulldog ants and fire ants sting badly when hurt, so you had better make sure they are dead before eating any in your food. Once they are dead, it would take a lot of ants in your food to hurt you though. Generally, if your candy bar or sandwich has ants on it, blow off as many them as you can, make sure that there are not many live ants left on the food, and go ahead and eat it.
It varies in poison, from the fire ant to the sugar ant, there are many different ants you can consume. I hope this has helped you.
Thanks,
Isabella
