As the director of Jacksonville’s Poison Information Center, Dawn Sollee knew exactly what to do when she saw a Tussock moth caterpillar on her arm – get it off without touching it. “These hairs can get lodged in the skin and cause irritation," said Sollee."You can get redness, bumps to the site, a stinging sensation.”Although she was able to get one off her without getting any of the hairs stuck, her daughter wasn’t as lucky.“You would take the piece of tape, put it over the area and then pull it off," said Sollee."Do that a couple of times to the site to make sure you get all those hairs out.
