Plagues of Ants and Nosebleeds

According to al-Tabari, the first tribe to have custody of the Ka'aba was the Jurhum, a daughter of which married Ishmael son of Abraham who was its builder. When the Jurhum eventually fell into evil, God destroyed them by sending plagues of ants and nosebleeds. The ants pursued them, crawled into their ears, and destroyed them from within. No further detail was provided about the nosebleeds.
