Got bit by a caterpillar and I don't know what it is...

[haas0311]

Yesterday I was trimming some tree limbs when I felt a burning on my neck. I went to wipe it off and the stinging got worse. Well I really gave it a good swipe and the caterpillar in the below pic came off my neck. What is it because it burned like fire when it stung me!!

Been there done that. Burns like crazy.

Put some pee on the affected area and the ammonia will relieve the sting in it

Baking soda and water. Mix it into a paste. And slather it on.

Yep, asp. Little suckers pack a mean punch. Mustard helps the sting, too.

Been stung myself and it leaves a welt. Was told they are not a type of asp. If I find the link I was given will post it.

I've always heard people say its an asp...but I'm not a biologist and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night???

Got hit by one as a kid while climbing a tree. I jumped about eight feet down and ran home holding my hand. Mom did the baking soda thing and told me to go play. It hurt.

Pee works if you do it soon as you are hit....

Got stung on the neck when I was about 7. It HURT. Mom, Dad and I went outside and we found that the tree was full of them.

Before I even realized what I said I told them "Well cut the **** thing down!" They just looked at me and I decided I needed to be elsewhere.

i thought the asp was white with a fine / thin coating of hair/fur??
