First aid to remove the stinging hairs from the processionary caterpillar. When you come into contact with the stinging hairs of a processionary caterpillar, it is wise to first roll over the skin with the adhesive roller. If possible, rinse the skin as much as you can after this. When itching occurs, it is unwise to rub the skin, as this will spread the stinging hairs further. After rinsing, dab the skin dry and then apply the processionary caterpillar ointment.

Warning: For external use only. Do not apply to the nose, eyes, wounds or damaged skin. Keep out of the reach of small children. Store in a cool, dark place. To prevent further irritation, it is advisable to thoroughly wash the clothes that you were wearing during contact with the caterpillar. The ointment nourishes, cools and soothes the skin from irritation after contact with the stinging hairs of the processionary caterpillar.

The oak processionary caterpillar (Thaumetopea processionea) is the caterpillar of a moth that can be found on oak trees in May, June and July, searching for food: oak leaves, in groups, at night. The caterpillars shed several times and eventually develop microscopic stinging hairs. These can cause complaints in both humans and animals, such as itching, skin rashes, and irritation of the eyes or respiratory tract.

Directions for use: First rinse the skin thoroughly with water and dab dry (do not rub). Then move the adhesive roller over the skin to remove any remaining hairs. After this, apply the processionary gel, lightly massaging it into the irritated skin to ensure quick absorption. Repeat the process if necessary.
