Localized bag of the daughter's leg

Don't be surprised, almost all the people of Luxembourg have this bag, more or less, extremely itchy.

The Germans and French next door were not spared.

In the domestic mythological TV series "Xinji Gong Living Buddha", the scenes seen in the past were truly reproduced in Luxembourg.

Walking on the street, you will see that all the people's bare skin has a small red packet, and the itch is so itchy that people can't help but scratch.

There are also topics that people meet and talk about, and they all stretch out their arms to discuss this bag that makes people feel like itchy.

What's going on here?

Summer is coming, and finally looking forward to the relaxation of epidemic measures, it is a good season to contact outdoor activities.

Who knew that the crisis was coming.

Open the circle of friends and Facebook, only to know that we are not the only ones who have been recruited.

Overnight, as if cursed, people who woke up early in the morning found that red envelopes appeared on their bodies, especially their limbs and necks, and they were very itchy.

Everyone was looking for the cause, and at first they thought that mosquitoes, fleas, insect mites and other insects were bitten, but the results were not.

The discussion on Facebook was also quite lively. The final proven conclusion is the reason why the hair of the caterpillar of the oak tree marches through the air.

Yesterday, I saw from the Luxembourg news that the reason for people to start packing was the oak caterpillar.

In France's Grand Est region, this has also made headlines as two schools in the Faulquemont neighborhood were forced to close.

None of the COVID-19 pandemics allowed them to close schools so decisively, but Caterpillar did.

Oak caterpillar

Quite a few people experience the pain and itching caused by oak caterpillars. It is well known that people do not have to get close to them to be affected, as the wind often blows their irritating hairs far away.

Oak caravan moths and their larvae (oak caterpillars), which are very harmful to the human body because their poisonous bristles are a human irritant.

Each caterpillar has about 700,000 poisonous hairs, which are irritating, and human contact can cause itching, rashes, irritation of the eyes or respiratory tract and persistent itching, symptoms that can last for two weeks and, in severe cases, even shock.

RTL 5minutes spoke with GP Jean-Paul Schwartz about possible health risks: "Both allergic reactions and pain can be severe. They are caused by a substance on insect hair. ”

What steps should I take when I am affected by oak caterpillars?

It is best not to scratch the itchy parts of the skin, but to disinfect them to avoid inflammation.

Antihistamine ointments are known to be effective.

To avoid problems, it is recommended to wear long sleeves when going out and spray shoes and exposed areas with sprays such as mosquitoes.

Let's take a look at the reasons for this year's caterpillar outbreak.

The richest countries regard environmental protection as more important than the health of their citizens. They do not treat the eggs, coupled with the temperature that rises year by year.

Some organisms go extinct due to high temperatures, while others reproduce in large numbers due to high temperatures.

We should protect the natural environment, but this should also be based on the premise of protecting people's health.

Seeing that in this short period of time, the air was mixed with the hair of this poisonous caterpillar, causing people physical discomfort, especially the torture of some small children, it was difficult to understand the thinking of Europeans.

If it were in China, how could such a thing happen?
