Puss Moth Caterpillar (Asp) Stings
Treatment of Puss Moth Caterpillar Stings
Local cooling measures Treatment for local reactions to asp stings includes washing the skin with soap and water (using noncontact drying such as a hair dryer), local cooling measures such as an ice pack, or topical isopropyl alcohol, and putting tape on the site and pulling it off to remove embedded hairs. Applying a baking soda slurry or calamine lotion can be soothing. Treatment of systemic reactions is symptomatic. Treatment is like that for insect stings.
