Buck Moth Caterpillars Invade New Orleans
from New Orleans News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Buck moth caterpillars are causing a stir in New Orleans, turning festival season into a prickly challenge. These venomous caterpillars, known for their stinging spines, are thriving due to a population boom last year. Theyre found on oak trees and can cause painful stings that last from a day to a week. If stung, remove the spines, clean the area, apply a cold compress, and use antihistamines. Despite the caterpillars, NOLA residents continue to enjoy outdoor activities, just with a bit more caution. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
