Beware!

It Came From My Backyard!!!

So Lucy and I discovered a cute little catepillar that looked like a gerbil. Amy looked it up and it is called The puss caterpillar, or woolly slug,
and just happens to be the most poisonous caterpillar in the United States! Its poison is hidden in hollow spines among its hairs.

Symptoms of puss caterpillar contact may include:

• Immediate, intense pain that often comes in waves.

• A swelling, itching rash of red blotches and raised ridges.

• Restlessness and anxiety.

• Nausea and vomiting.

• Fever.

• Muscle cramps.

• Swollen glands.

• Symptoms of shock
