Default Poisonous Caterpillars that can cause severe breathing problems are invading Britain.

Section : Human Health

[Caterpillar hair can be a cause of
human health problems.
Caterpillar hairs sometimes have venoms
in them and species
from
approximately 12 families
of moths or butterflies worldwide can
inflict serious human injuries ranging
from urticarial dermatitis and
atopic asthma to osteochondritis,
consumption coagulopathy,
kidney failure, and brain bleeding.
Skin rashes are the most common,
but there have been fatalities.
Lonomia is a frequent cause of
envenomation in Brazil, with 354 cases
reported between 1989 and 2005.
Lethality ranging up to 20% with
death caused most often by
intracranial hemorrhage.]
