Several people had to undergo pathfinding surgery in the specialised eye hospital here in town at the university hospital UKM. They had gotten these hairs into the eyes, where they hooked up to and embedded themselves into the cornea. Problem was that the hairs are so fine and filigrane that usual surgery instruments find it difficult to handle them.



Ordinary victims try to deal with the allergy and the itching by using anti-histamine drugs and cortisone cremes. The itching is quite a calibre. My knee pits and calfs (calves?) looked like pizza spread. Mayn people got hit this year, it seems, at least here in town.



If you ever meet a nest of these critters - STAY AWAY, and tsaker care of kids and pets as well. I have seen photos of dogs who had terrible wounds on their noses. The hairs can stay chemically active for years, and can be blown up by the wind. Professional pest control is inevitable, these guy wear full isolation suits and face covers with garmasks - a horror of a job in these temperatures. I would prefer to deal with a nest of wasps to these loopers.
