Ant Season arrives early this summer

With the coming of daylight saving, Jack Jumper season has also well and truly arrived in Tasmania.  Many people are now reporting living with daily sightings of ants and sufferers with allergy to the sting of the ant are now on alert having to put their action plans into place.

During the following months, antallergy.org will be stepping up its campaign to highlight the urgency of the current situation facing both sufferers, and those who are yet to discover that they too have a life threatening allergy to the sting of the Jack Jumper ant.

Ant Sting Register

Over the coming months, antallergy.org will be seeking ways in which to establish a register of people that have been admitted for emergency treatment for anaphylactic reaction to Jack Jumper ant stings in Tasmania.

This register will include recent and past admissions, and will form an invaluable record of the severity and prevalence of Jack Jumper sting Allergy in Tasmania.

If you would like an Ant Allergy Can Kill car sticker, they are now available from Melanie Gordon for a gold coin donation.  For further information please call Melanie on 6231 9888.
