Caterpillars processionnaires the return!!!


Caterpillars processionnaires the dangers for our animals -

The danger of the processionnaires caterpillars comes from their manipulation that leads to the release of venom after the hair has broken. This venom has the ability to destroy tissues (we talk about tissue necrosis).

It is also necessary to specify that the simple fact of holding below a processionnaires track nest is enough to present the following signs: Irritation accompanied by a more or less important itch. Presence of eye lesions sometimes very serious. Having a edema at the language level. Swallowing a caterpillar can be deadly. Practice immediate rinsing in clear water and request an emergency consultation. For more information consult the following link.
