The term "puss caterpillar" describes the larva of at least two Megalopygidae species common to North America. Accidental contact with the hairs (setae) is intensely painful, and serious systemic effects have been reported. We describe the envenomation of an infant through the face and oral mucosa, resulting in severe discomfort, limited oral intake, and vomiting, but no other untoward effects.
“绒蛾幼虫”一词描述的是北美常见的至少两种绒蛾科物种的幼虫。意外接触其毛发（刚毛）会产生剧烈疼痛，并且已有严重全身影响的报告。我们描述了一名婴儿通过面部和口腔黏膜被这种毛虫蜇伤的情况，导致严重不适、进食受限和呕吐，但未出现其他不良影响。
