Although small in size, ants could soon play a big role in protecting our health, reported The Daily Mail. The insects may one day be used to detect cancer, according to a new study. Scientists have discovered ants, like dogs, can "sniff" out the disease.
In various experiments dogs have detected different types – for example, finding breast and lung cancer by sniffing patients’ breath. But a study has now found ants have a "high potential" to be used as a form of detection.
