If they squirt on you what will the out come be please? Asking because of some skin damage that a friend had after spraying them ? However not sure if it was them or not—had a T shirt on —felt a bit of a sting—rubbed it—but when I looked it was 2 marks about the size of a 10 cent coin—that I would have sworn were burns

Put Metho on them yesterday—they are round 10 cent—or maybe a bit bigger—like burn marks the skin has come off now—have NO idea what it could have been

Bugs that squirt things will effect different people in different ways. The huge 20cm long Millipedes will burn the skin of some of my local mates where I can handle them no worries.

However, the stink bugs in the tree outside my office irritate me, but one of my friends consumes them by the bucket load…

I do hope your refering to and animal friend and not a human friend! I’m not really here PM. I’m baking biscuits. Anzacs and chop chip ones for the flea market stall.

Have a good one.

I can tell you it’s not at all fun to cop a squirt in the eye :(

(One of my worst childhood memories, along with the hermit crab incident. Still traumatised.)

Human friend. There is quite a lot of insect crunching goes on up here. Different bugs for different provinces…

I know stink bugs can be a problem in the eyes, but I wouldn’t have thought that it would cause that much damage on the skin, unless it is an allergic reaction.

Other thoughts are that she may have spilt some concentrated spray without realising, or an insect bite or caterpillar rash.
