Lepidopterism
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Lepidopterism is an irritant contact dermatitis caused by irritating caterpillar or moth hairs coming into contact with the skin or mucosa.[1][2] When referring to the cause, moth dermatitis and caterpillar dermatitis are commonly used; Caripito itch (known as papillonite in French)[3][4] is an older name referring to the moth dermatitis caused by some Hylesia species.[5]
