Hi Friends Never ever i thought that ants can be sooooooooooooooo dangerous... ..check out the couple of incidents... ..really shocking..... .Incident One:A little boy died because surgeons found ants in his brain! Apparently this boy fell asleep with some sweets in his mouth or with some sweet stuff beside him. Ants soon got to him and some ants in fact crawled into his ear which somehow managed to go to his brain. When he woke up, he did not realize that ants had gone to his head.After that, he constantly complained about itchiness around his face. His mother brought him to a doctor, but the doctor could not figure out what was wrong with him. He took an X-ray of the boy and to his horror, he found a group of live ants in his skull.

Since the ants were still alive, the doctor could not operate on him because the ants were constantly moving around. The boy finally died. So please be careful when leaving food stuff near your bed or when eating in bed. This might attract ants. Most importantly, NEVER you or your child eat sweets before going to bed. You or your child might attract ants while you are asleep. Incident Two:Another similar incident happened in a hospital in Taiwan . This man was warded in the hospital and was constantly warned by the nurses not to leave food stuff by his bedside because there were ants about. He did not heed their advice. Ants finally got to him. His family members said that the man constantly complained about headaches. He died and a post mortem or autopsy was done on him. Doctors found a group of live ants in his head. Apparently, the ants had been

eating bits of his brain.So friends, better be safe than sorry. Never leave food stuff beside Your bed you when you go to sleep.Please forward this to your friends and relatives.

Dear Narayanan,

Many such rumours and hoaxes are spread through internet - chain emails on of them is what you have sent.

there are couple of good websites that analyse such emails and warn people.

I found this specific case at following site that tracks eRoumours:

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/a/antbrains.htm

With comment:

The TruthThese stories are both fiction, classic urban legends. There are no documented cases of ants entering the brain and living there.

Another such importat site that i like is:

I will recommend all to look at these sites for such emails and check before forwarding such emails.
