Warning: Massive Poisonous Hairy Caterpillars Loose

"How could 2020 get any worse," you asked your friend via IGdm. Here is how: with massive, poisonous, creepy hairy caterpillars.

Take a look at this thing before you never go outside again:

According to the New York Post, these creatures are the most poisonous caterpillars in the US and were spotted in Virginia.

They have a name too: puss caterpillars.

The state Department of Forestry is warning residents to be on the lookout. “The ‘hairs’ of this caterpillar are actually venomous spines that cause a painful reaction if touched,” the department says.

If you have the following symptoms, you may have been attacked by a puss caterpillar: intense pain, itchy rashes, nausea, and vomiting.

I'm sorry.

Last month, Crystal Spindel Gaston rushed to the emergency room after coming in contact with one. “It felt exactly like a scorching-hot knife passing through the outside of my calf,” she added.

As always: thank you, 2020.
