Default Good bug vs. Bad Bugs specifically ANTS

Got a paph (Emerald x Superbiens) in today, pulled it out and got my hand covered in ants and EGGS!!! UGHHH,
1st severely allergic to ants so slight HOLY SH*T moment hit me.
2nd. Then slightly less freaked when noticed it seemed like small sugar or wood ants. Whew I have enough fire ants in my yard to fight thank you very much.

3rd. I sprayed the plant down lightly with bayer neem oil natria (?) brand. let sit for 5 min and then sprayed all off with my water hose sprayer.

Okay now the biggest point of my question, if I did not succeed at getting them all and some survived would they be okay on my paph? Or would I need to continue to work on keeping the little suckers out of my plants?

Sorry no pictures they have been sprayed away.
