Plants And Animals That We Shouldn't Ever Touch

Posted by Bill Rippel on January 28, 2022 - 12:42am

49. Puss Caterpillars

The puss caterpillar might look like a huggable plush toy, but you’ll quickly regret touching it. These unique insects are found in America’s southern states, and they boast follicles that are surprisingly poisonous. Yep, they’ll stick to your skin in no time, ahead of a very rough 60 minutes or so. The affected area will feel inflamed and sore, while other responses range from puffiness to breathing issues.

Corneliu Boghian thanks for info

Simon Keighley Heck, it sounds like the puss caterpillar's follicles can cause severe damage when they stick to your skin - thanks for the warning, Bill.
