Not worried about it, just interested. I had a spider bite in Gibsons years ago that did something similar with the skin necrotizing around the wound. Ants oft times have poisonous bites so why not a related species? Any search about bites bring returns for stings. I watched him sting me in an arc as he held on while I batted at him. The swelling and pain tells me it is poisonous and a different kind than their sting.
