Puss Caterpillar Information, pg 3:  Within minutes or hours of the sting event, a halo of reddened skin, caused by capillary congestion, forms. The reddened tissue is locally sensitive, painful, and warm or hot to the touch. The skin remains reddened but otherwise unmarked for minutes or hours. As the local redness subsides, a pattern of darker, raised, nodular lesions forms, usually within 24 hours after the sting. These darker lesions are arranged in a characteristic pattern.

The sting pattern varies based on which portion of the caterpillar touches the body. NEXT PAGE ---- Page Menu: *  1  *  2  *  3  *  4  *  5  *
