The stinging of spiny caterpillars usually occurs in hot season, and it is more common in the forearms, face and neck. After being stabbed, it can cause severe tingling and burning sensation immediately, and it is often accompanied by itching in the later stage. There will be a large lump at the puncture site, which will disappear after several hours, leaving papules, maculopapules or blisters of different sizes, itching outside and pain inside. It can recur and disappear completely after one or two weeks. Generally, the general symptoms are mild and may be very serious.

general treatment

1. If you are accidentally stung by a stinging caterpillar, you must never scratch it. The more you scratch it, the wider the redness and swelling, and the more painful and itchy your skin is.

2. Immediately after being stabbed, you can use adhesive tape or plaster to stick it on the stabbed part and then remove it. Repeat for many times to pull out the poisonous hair as much as possible, and then rinse it with clear water or soapy water in time.

3. After being stabbed, catch 1 ~ 2 spiny caterpillars in time. You can use leaves and so on to squeeze out body fluids and apply them to the affected area. After applying them, you will feel numb, and the itching and redness will disappear in a short time. Because there are no sweat pores on the finger surface, it is generally not hurt by spiny caterpillars, so you can take it with your fingers carefully.

4. After being stabbed, wet the white sugar with water and apply it to the stabbed part.
