As has happened in some developed countries in the world, including America. Several scientific reports in the International Journal noted a similar outbreak occurred in New Mexico, USA in 1981. It was the outbreak of the Hemileuca nevadensis caterpillar attack.
A more severe outbreak occurred in San Antonio, Texas, USA in 1923 due to strains of operaularis megalopyge caterpillars that caused more severe clinical symptoms.
Because the outbreak was forced by the San Antonio state government, Texas abolished primary and secondary schools for several days. The state government of Texas quickly responded and soon solved this problem. Successful programs, outbreaks are lost. These caterpillars' caterpillars are not healed, their population exploded back in 1951 in Galvestone, Texas. Once again because it has learned from previous problems, the government managed to cope with this outbreak well, unfortunately the success of caterpillar destruction is not told how.
The worm caterpillar worm that the United States has not forgotten until now is the Lymantrian epidemic that hit the 1980s. They call this caterpillar with a Gypsy moth. This epidemic is phenomenal because it happens for years. Caterpillar handling of this type is quite difficult.
Despite the success of this caterpillar population in 1982, the caterpillar population again exploded in 1983. Thanks to intensive research, this caterpillar outbreak was completed in 1984. Parents certainly can not forget the horror of this epidemic.
Diseases caused by caterpillars, in the medical world known as Caterpillars Dermatitis (dermatitis from caterpillars). Typical symptoms, usually marked with a red bump lump (biduren like a bump) on the face, hands, feet, and the back of the neck close to the collar. The dominant complaints are usually itching. In patients with Caterpillars Dermatitis is usually watery eyes and there is redness inflammation in both eyes. If the caterpillar feathers that fly with the wind are inhaled by our noses, the most likely complication is shortness of breath due to airway constriction (bronchospasm). If already in the stadium (shortness of breath) immediately take the patient to the nearest health service center
Itchy skin and a variety of complaints associated with caterpillar outbreaks caused by "poisonous fur" in the caterpillar body. After carefully examined by dr. PM Gilmer, "poisonous fur" does contain toxins that can break down fibrin (fibrinolysis protease) in the body. "Toxic fur" does serve as a protective caterpillar tool for predatory attacks. When "toxic hair" attaches to human skin, the immune system responds to inflammatory reactions so that our skin is red. In addition, the reaction will trigger the rupture of mast cells that result in the release of a number of histamine molecules in the body, so we feel itchy. In people who have sensitive skin against "toxic fur" can occur a very dangerous disease: acute asthma. Even worse if the poisonous fur goes into our bloodstream, there can be prolonged bleeding, brain hemorrhage and acute renal failure.
