If I ask you the creatures you dread the most, you wouldn't mince words to say wild animals and may never mention bugs. After all, they are bugs and wouldn't do much. What if I told you that some of them could inflict permanent injuries and cause death?
Some bugs, although part of the ecosystem, are a threat to our existence. This video looks at the fifteen most dangerous bugs around the world. Stick around and listen so that you can take flight when next they cross your path. So let’s start our countdown at once.
15. Deer Tick
The Deer Tick infects thousands of people every year with Borrelia burgdorferi. When it enters into its victim's body, it turns to Lyme disease, and the immune system cannot neutralize it. This infection starts with a small rash around the affected area, which metamorphoses into heart problems and headaches. After some hours, the victim develops stiff joints and extreme pain. Although only a few people die from this bite, the excruciating pain is better experienced than told.
When the Deer tick attacks its prey, it takes up to 24-28 hours for a harmful number of bacteria to transfer to the system. Early detection and removal reduce contraction and eventual fatality. If you own a pet or work in a wooded area, you're at higher risk of a deer tick.

14. Cockroach
Cockroaches are invasive bugs, and unfortunately, they are found in residential homes. According to the National Pest Association, up to 78 to 98 percent of households in urban areas are home to roaches. They do not bite, but some species have heavy legs that are capable of scaring the skin.
Since they feed on garbage, they carry pathogens that are detrimental to health. Although there are no confirmed reports of disease outbreaks linked to roaches, they could play a role in spreading infections. According to the World Health Organization, cockroaches could be carriers of diseases like dysentery, leprosy, cholera, typhoid fever, and a host of others. People who have cockroaches at home develop anxiety for fear that it may hurt them.

13. Siafu ant
Also known as army ants, this insect is found in Central and Eastern Africa. It is one of those creatures that don't spare anyone that crosses its path. Unlike most ant species, Siafu does not have nests. They're mobile as you can find them anywhere provided there is food. After devouring all potential food sources, they move to another location.
Their strength is measured by numbers as they can consume half a million ants if the entire colony goes on hunting. When their sharp strings penetrate the victim, it leaves them helpless. After some minutes, they begin to lose strength and give up till the army ants take over.

12. Yellow Jacket
Yellow jackets are one of the most dreaded bugs known to man. Although beautiful on the outside, their fiery sting betrays their looks. Forget their calm demeanor because they are more dangerous than bees, hornets, and wasps. Yes, you heard that. They never lose their stinger and can sting numerous times. The first bite on your flesh allows for further digging into your skin.
You can never be too careful with yellow jackets because they can sting you even if you mind your business. They're watch guards and do not tolerate any form of intrusion. Mowing lawns can trigger their underground habitat and increase your chances of getting attacked. Locations with food sources like pet food, human food, garbage, etc., are juicy destinations.
11. Puss caterpillar
Don't get fooled by their looks; the puss caterpillar is the most noxious caterpillar in the US. They embody extremely toxic hollow spines that stick to your skin. The effects range from nausea, swelling, rash, low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and difficulty breathing. Their bite feels like a sting, but the result is worse, and you may feel the pains in your bones. The extent of the sting depends on where you were stung and how many spines were trapped in your skin.
Unfortunately, puss caterpillars are increasing in number, and the casualties are on a steady rise. If a puss caterpillar bites you, remove their spines using a cellophane tape before you call a doctor. Preventing puss caterpillar exposure is nearly impossible since most of them hide behind leaves.
