Caterpillars are particularly active in spring (February to March) when they leave their nests.
The caterpillars have thousands of fine hairs that contain the nettle poison thaumetopoein.
Contact can lead to severe skin rashes, respiratory inflammation, allergic shock reactions, and eye irritation.
Dogs are particularly at risk if they sniff at or eat the caterpillars, which can lead to severe inflammation in the mouth and throat.
Never touch the nests.
Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
