Many believe that the Playground is the safest place for a child. But sometimes it’s not like that. For a long time it was thought that in contact with some species of caterpillars in humans may appear only a slight irritation on the body. However, after the lonomia obliqua caterpillar was discovered, it became clear that certain species of these creatures could cause much more harm to humans.
Poison living in South America Lonomia obliqua takes the lives of several people every year. This is because the caterpillar has a very strong poison that causes massive internal bleeding in the human body. If a person touches Lonomia obliqua, the poison will instantly get into his bloodstream through the hollow thin spikes that cover the caterpillar’s body.
