24. Ants

Generally, the average American only encounters ants that are simply a nuisance, but some people say ants kill around 30 people each year. Of course, these deaths are worldwide, where there are all kinds of ants. There are actually more than 10,000 ant species, many of which live in tropical forests.

Fire ants are well known for being aggressive and they have killed people by stinging them, because it can cause an allergic reaction. About 9 people in the US die each year from ants. However, elsewhere ants can kill with venomous stings (if you got stung like a few hundred times). Driver ants, like the ones from Indiana Jones 4, could potentially eat a person if they weren’t moving.
