Fire ants are not an ant, and do not bite as such. They are a wingless wasp, and have stingers with venom, which is very irritating and painful. In large enough quantities it can kill. single stings jurt like crazy, and can leave a bad sore. I do not know the exact type of venom, or its effects other that it hurts like crazy. Don't know if it ia a neurotoxin or what.
