Caterpillar sting sends student to the hospital (San Antonio Express-News)
more at the linksSAN ANTONIO —A caterpillar that looks like a harmless ball of fur but carries a painful sting sent a Reagan High School student to the emergency room Monday morning.
The student reportedly was riding in a school bus when she was stung. Her condition is unknown.
In a Facebook post in July, doctors at Cedar Park Emergency Center north of Austin issued a warning about puss caterpillars, calling them “cute little guys crawling around in your garden.” Also known as asps, they are, in fact, one of the country’s most venomous caterpillars.
