Description:Excerpt from Report on the Gypsy Moth and the Brown-Tail MothThe brown-tail moth is now even better known about Boston than is the gypsy moth. The widespread information relative to the brown-tail moth arises chiefly from the fact that the hairs of the larvae are distinctly poisonous and nettling, and thousands of people throughout the range of this pest have been poisoned the present sum mer or during past years. The hairs produce on sensitive subjects (and very few are entirely immune) a cash or nettling, with some fes tering, which lasts for a week or more, and is attended with more or less itching and irritation. This poisoning may result from the falling of the caterpillar on the neck and hands or clothing of the passer-by, or from the loosened hairs shed from the cast larval skin at the time of transformation to the Chrysalis stage. The loosened hairs, or the shed skin, are blown about by the winds and frequently attach to clothing hung up in yards for drying. By this means they are conveyed to the skin, resulting often in very gen eral inflammation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
