someone just sent me an email saying that these bugs are deadly...
the email said:
"For your info:
Have you come across this insect?
Pls be very careful with this particular insect. It seems to be attacking quite a number of people these days. It is quite poisonous too.
Consult a doctor immediately as if not the infection will spread very fast.
This insect does not sting or bite. It is its urine that is extremely acidic which causes the infection.
If you touch the wound, you must quickly wash your hands or else it will spread to the next place you touch."
it came with an attached .jpg pic of an arm covered with pink scabby sores as well, which i shall not put here to avoid grossing everyone out..
while i appreciate emails like that, i hate to have to start avoiding little bugs as well, when there is already so much stress and paranoia going around..
oh well, if you do find one, catch it in a transparent (Fuji) film canister and show me, can? :p
