Fire ant nectar

Fire ant nectar is a consumable item in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
When you consume the nectar it grants you +25 fire resistance and boosts your Agility by +4 but drops your Intelligence by 3. If taken in excess, you can get addicted to it though the chance of addiction is very small. Taking 20 doses guarantees addiction, regardless of addiction chance.

Location
Found frequently on the corpses of fire ants. Fire ant nectar is more common in Fallout: New Vegas, due to a larger number of ants and the fact that workers have a 20% chance to drop the item versus the 17% of their Fallout 3 counterparts. Furthermore, it can also be found in ant refuse piles along with the normal ant nectar.
