I think that in blood, rapid biotransformation of ethyl acetate occurs by plasma esterases (that are enzymes) resulting in acetic acid and ethanol. This can trigger the death of cells...
Maybe you refer to the coleopters that have a much harder protection. Maybe their metabolism neutralizes the action of ethyl acetate.
