#Ayurveda💪
Here's something we bet you've never seen before: ANT heads used instead of sutures for wound closure! This particular breed of ants is called the #Dorylus. They are also known as driver ants or safari ants. They’re basically large army ants which are typically found in central and eastern Africa.
Because of their strong jaws, they are used as emergency sutures, when nothing else is available.
Often times, the smaller villages found in the Congo and around Africa will use them since band aids aren’t necessarily available.

They’ll hold the ant by the back part of their body, line up their jaws with the wound, then the army ant will bite using its jaws.
Once the jaw has ‘sutured’ both sides of the wound, they’ll break off the body of the ant, leaving only the head and the jaws.
This creates a natural suture which can be used in the wild if no other supplies are available. The suture itself can actually hold for days if needed.
