Thanks to social media, life-saving warnings can now spread faster than ever. One such warning comes from Andrea Pergola, whose 15-year-old son Logan had a terrifying encounter with one of North America’s most venomous caterpillars.

While collecting tree branches for volunteer work, Logan felt a sudden sting. Minutes later, a red, grid-like rash appeared on his arm and quickly spread, bringing intense burning pain. He became dizzy and pale.

Logan’s grandfather found the culprit: a fuzzy, “cute”-looking caterpillar, later identified as highly poisonous. The family rushed Logan to the ER after realizing home remedies weren’t working.

Andrea took to Facebook to warn others:

> “It is not native to Florida, but to Texas, and just happens to live here now\… Please, if stung, go to the ER – Benadryl won’t be enough.”

Her message serves as a powerful reminder: some of nature’s most dangerous creatures don’t always look the part.
