Rash

The kids had this crazy rash that looked like a dozen mosquito bites on their arms, legs and torso. It seemed like it got better but then it would spread.







I was about to take them all to the doctor when I found out that they had been playing with these caterpillars. They look so cute. Not a good picture but they are bright yellow with about 5 long black hairs on them. The dagger moth larvae can aparently cause a reaction on the skin. Thank goodness for Google, I read someones blog that had the same thing happen. Benadryl & calamine lotion and 3 days later - no more rash, and no more touching these caterpillars.
