The bobwhite caterpillar, also known as the foreign hot pepper, is a venomous caterpillar with poisonous burrs on its body. After being stung by the bosporus caterpillar do not slap the body of the insect, disinfect the area with iodophor and add anti-inflammatory medication such as dexamethasone ointment to relieve the symptoms. Medications should be applied under medical supervision.
After being stung by the caterpillar, the patient will feel itchy with redness and swelling, which is a typical manifestation of atopic dermatitis.
Be careful not to slap the body of the insect when it is stung, so as to prevent unnecessary infections caused by the severed limbs of the insect remaining in the body. After the sting, transparent tape can be applied to the injury and then torn off to remove the toxic burrs.
After the bite, you should pay attention to the local cleanliness, disinfect it with iodine alcohol in time, and add anti-inflammatory pain relief ointment, such as dexamethasone ointment, hydrocortisone butyrate ointment and other ointments, to relieve itching and stinging symptoms.
If there is swelling and pus at the bite site, you should go to the hospital to check whether there is infection, and make an incision and drain if necessary.
