  • The caterpillar has black spots along its sides and a black head capsule.1
  • The adult moth has yellowish-brown forewings marked with white splotches, which look like stained glass.1
  • The adult moth has mostly white hindwings and a hairy, pale brown body.1

毒液之力

蜇毛

细小的毛或刚毛会断在皮肤里并刺痛。

它的毒液会造成什么？

No venom has yet been isolated or identified in this moth. Its hairs cause irritant contact dermatitis, an itchy rash, in many people, especially those prone to allergies. The rash can resemble exposure to urushiol, the irritant found in poison ivy.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。

In over 350 documented cases, most people had no symptoms within 24 hours. No case involved anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction. The hairs are microscopically barbed, and if they are transferred from the hands to the eyes they may rarely cause serious medical complications.1

如果你碰到它的毛

  • 被毛毛虫的蜇毛扎到：用胶带把毛粘掉，再清洗皮肤。不要揉。
  • 被咬：清洗并冷敷。如果感到不适或容易出血，就去看医生。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。 急救基础

注意安全

  • 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
  • 给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
  • 如果你碰到了它的毛：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识
