Not all cats are allergic to this kind of toxicity, but it is best not to bring cats in places where hornets and bees live, such as tall grasses or shrubs. The cat licks the area if it is shot, but this makes the condition worse. In these cases, veterinarians recommend diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that alleviates allergic reactions. However, if there are strong side effects, you should immediately take them to the nearest veterinary clinic.

Fireflies can shine because of the chemical called Lucy Bufangin. This substance is similar to toxic toxic toxin, and poison of poison toad can kill a cat with a single drop. Fortunately, however, cats do not usually hunt for fireflies.
5. Fireworks
Big black ants bite not only people but also cats, but they are not harmful enough. However, the petrified species is dangerous to cats. Fire ants are toxic and cause pain in the bite area, which can lead to severe allergic reactions leading to anaphylactic shock. If you are exposed to fireballs once or twice, you will have mild pain and swelling, but you will be cured within 1 to 2 days.
However, it is dangerous if a kitten touches a herd of fire ants. Because the fireballs emit toxicity to the cat body. If a cat is exposed to too much poison, it can die from paralysis. Therefore, if a cat is bitten by an antibiotic, care should be taken not to see anaphylactic shock.
