One good thing about fire ants: they eat ticks.

Since ants are non-White, when the virus starts to infect humans, anyone calling it the “Ant Virus” will be branded as a racist.

“Some of them are good.”
And Fire ants kill and eat all those beneficial insects. They also kill lizards, spiders, and baby chicks, calves, and lambs. If they are not in your area, you should be happy.
My concern would be what this does to native ants?

the Journal of Invertebrate Pathology... ...or JIP for short. Must reading for anyone interested in pest control.

Releasing a virus into the wild? No. Even if you don't like ants the consequences could be catastrophic.
I can't believe this is even been proposed.

What a great idea. There couldn’t possibly be any consequences.
I got destroyed by red fire ants at Patrick AFB. I put on my camouflage pants at 0530 in the dark, and just felt burning pain. I threw on the lights and dropped my pants and had hundreds of ants biting me. I must have wiped my hands on pants after eating the day before. It was not fun…

Release it, then it mutates and wipes out the honeybee and we all starve.

Never, never ever works out as planned. There are hundreds of cases that “scientists” modified mosquitoes, introduced preditors, etc. and in all cases the “law of unintended consequences” raised its ugly and vicious head.
