IF YOU SEE THIS, RUN FAST
If you see these, run fast and ask for help. There are so many different animals in the world that nobody even knows the exact number of existing species. Some of them are beautiful and some are ugly however not everything is as it seems because the ugly ones may be safe and the beautiful ones can be deadly or not. For example, a caterpillar who looks like somebody dropped their wig by accident is not very big but very hairy. You might think that because it's hairy, it's tender to touch but don't let that fool you.
In fact, if you touch the hairs, they will penetrate your skin and sting you. That doesn't seem fair now. You were just fooled by its cuteness. According to the experience of other people, the pain is unimaginably bad so stay away from this caterpillar if you can however if you get stumped doctors recommend washing the area with soap and water but be very careful not to press the spot because this will make the poison spread faster.
After you finish washing the sting, put some ice on it to reduce the pain. If the pain doesn't go away within the next 30 minutes or so go to the hospital immediately.

I was about to tell you that this would be more suitable to be posted in the Earth community but Susan has already informed you about the communities. Thank you so much for sharing about this caterpillar. I had no idea!
I can't imagine who can go touching a caterpillar. But perhaps some people do. Anyway, I am also trying to figure out what's the best community for my articles. So when I see a random caterpillar in a community that is about writing advice and writing discussions it really makes me wonder how people choose the communities. You had to actually scroll down and go through all the communities to find the Writers community. So why Writers? Here below is the link to the list of all the communities. If you click on each of them, you will see a short description. If you read all of them, as it should be done I imagine, you can then choose a community where this caterpillar story belongs. https://shopping-feedback.today/communities%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
I tagged it as life because it is an important issue that everyone needs to know about as they go on with their day-to-day activities. I'm sorry I didn't put it in the right genre. I'm new here and this is the first article I have published. Please if you have any comments, feel free to share them.
I am honestly puzzled about an obvious randomness articles and stories are published on Vocal Media. There are many, many different sections/communities where to submit the different articles/stories according to topic, genre, etc. And now I wonder, why is this caterpillar here?! Neither the caterpillar nor it's little advice that was tagged as "Life" has anything to do with Writers, which description reads: "Join Writers, a community where Vocal writers can share their process, prompts, and advice like how to get published or how to get over writer's block." Can anyone, please, explain why sections/communities exists with even their description if so many articles/stories are randomly published? I honestly need to understand what's happening. Thanks to all this, I have a hard time knowing where should I submit my articles, to where they actually belong or I just pick a section/community randomly because who cares?
