Anti human attack by Caterpillers,

If you get touched by a hair of thaumetopoea processionea, you may get an itch or a rash. You should then change your clothes, take a shower and wash your hair immediately. In rare cases people can get trouble breathing. If so, see a doctor as an emergency. The caterpillars live in nests on trees. The nests look like tufty cobwebs and can also contain poison hairs. Avoid any contact with such nests. The nests can be burned off or sucked off with an industrial vacuum cleaner. You should wear protective suits for both these procedures.

Do not go abroad for holidays!
