There is also a caterpillar called twelve virulence, which contains virulence in its body. This is a moth larva that lives in southern Brazil. Although we were psychologically prepared for the disgusting appearance of the caterpillar, the disgusting appearance of the Brazilian caterpillar still scared me. From its beautiful protective color, we can know that its toxicity should not be underestimated. It is said that many people die every year because of this caterpillar poison. But this caterpillar toxin is also a very good anticoagulant and can be used to treat accidental wounds.
When a caterpillar falls on a human body, many of its bristles can be broken after touching the skin, and the venom in the hair cavity is injected into the skin. Because the hair cavity of poisonous hair is full of venom, it will cause severe itching and pain of the skin, and sometimes it will hurt like being burned. There may be a small pimple in the center of the stung skin, and the itching and pain symptoms may last for hours or longer. Caterpillar dermatitis is a large number of red papules with the same size in a certain part. Caterpillars are widely distributed, and there are many such caterpillars on various trees. Wear a wide-brimmed straw hat or sun hat and long-sleeved clothes when enjoying the cool under the tree. Don't stay under a tree with caterpillars. If a caterpillar accidentally falls on you, don't pat it around, just shake it off gently. If there are toxic hairs on the skin, you can stick them off with medical tape. If you can't find the medical tape at the moment, you can use transparent tape instead.
