Ants are a "advanced nutrition treasure house of micro animals" and a "natural medicine processing factory" which provide human nutrition, and are beneficial friends of human health. Ant is a hot topic in the medical field at home and abroad in the 199s, and it is the most valuable health care treasure today.
