The robin is not poisonous and has no teeth, so it does not bite. The robin has a straw which is used to suck the sap of the tree. Skin injury by the robin’s forelegs and straw may lead to local redness, swelling and pain, or cause allergic reactions. It is recommended to pay attention to the care of the affected area, and if necessary, give anti-itching and antihistamine drugs, which can help relieve the symptoms.
The robin is a plant in the family of Hemiptera cicadas, and the larvae live in the soil and have a pair of strong digging forelegs and piercing-sucking mouthparts that pierce and suck the sap from plant roots. If caught by the excavating forelegs or stung by the piercing-sucking mouthparts, it may cause an allergic reaction, resulting in localized redness, swelling, pain and itching.
It is recommended to avoid scratching and irritation after being scratched or pricked by the robin, so as not to induce bacterial infections and lead to aggravation of symptoms. It can be applied externally with glycerite lotion, and if necessary, with oral levocetirizine hydrochloride, olopatadine hydrochloride, ibastine and other drugs, which can reduce the release of histamine in the skin, and can help to alleviate the symptoms.
In summary, robins are toothless, non-toxic, and generally do not cause skin damage. If the robin is grasped in the hand, it may be pinched by the larvae’s forelegs or stabbed by the mouthparts. If the allergic reaction is obvious, it is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a doctor.
