Guernsey Doctors Told to Watch for Toxic Caterpillar Symptoms

Guernsey's medical community has been alerted to potential health risks from an influx of toxic moth caterpillars. Public health officials have reached out to local doctors with a warning about unexplained rashes and breathing issues.

The increase in Oak Processionary Moths, a species known for its toxic hairs, is believed to be the cause of the concern.

Express understands that public health officials quietly contacted GPs after an 'increase' in the caterpillar's activity, but did not release further details on what exactly constitutes this increase or how widespread it is.
