If You Spot This “Cute” And Fuzzy Insect In Your Yard, You Had Better Know What It Is

Social media has made it super quick to share info. That means when there’s a danger, we can know about it fast.

A mom shared a story about her son. He got a weird red mark after touching some branches. I rushed to the ER, and they found out it was serious.

Her son, Logan, felt a sting while collecting branches for volunteering. His arm got a red, grid-like mark that turned into a rash. It hurt a lot and spread fast.

Logan’s mom tried garlic, thinking it could help, but it didn’t. They later found a fuzzy caterpillar, the culprit of the sting.

This caterpillar looked cute but was super toxic. It’s not even native to Florida, where they live. They had to rush Logan to the ER.

The mom warned everyone on Facebook about this dangerous caterpillar. She said if you get stung, go to the ER, as normal medicine might not help.

So, if you see a cute fuzzy bug, don’t touch it! It might look harmless, but it could be dangerous.
