They are not poisonous that you can die from them unless you are super duper allergic. They are mean little ants that bite and leave you with a big bite that itches. Anti histamine recommended.

it is possible if you develop an allergic reaction from the bites, so better keep some antihistamine for emergency purposes at home

No,their are not piousness , only if you got some allergic reaction to it , if the ants were so dangerous the government would put out some sort of warning, don't you think so?!
