First Aid for Puss Caterpillar Stings. Several years ago, in conjunction with research on the puss caterpillar, I asked visitors to www.bugsinthenews.com for personal reports of experiences with puss caterpillar stings. Before long. thousands of emails poured in.

Sting victims told how they, their spouses, small children, even babies, reacted to the stings. Many had visited clinics or emergency rooms, fearing a life-threatening reaction, and reported on the treatments, examinations, and diagnostic tests they received in such settings.

A few described the first aid measures and home remedies they tried, and how well they worked. Some of these measures were said to provide immediate relief, shorten recovery time, and reduce scarring. At first I read these reports with skepticism. But similar reports kept coming in. In parallel with all this I was receiving, with regularity, calls and e-mails from individuals who had recently been stung and were in pain, who were seeking information on how to deal with the stings. I realized that, by collecting such information, I had become at least morally responsible for sharing it, including the remedies that had been shared with me, as those measures might be of help to others. It is in that spirit that the following materials are made available here.
