A mum has issued a warning to parents after her four year-old son came out in a severe rash all over his face and body. The rash came after her son had been playing out in the garden.
Mum Caroline Gel has said that her son Oliver was playing outside last Tuesday (May 17) when he made friends with a caterpillar. Just half an hour later Oliver started complaining about a painful 'stinging' sensation on his face and mouth and then woke up the next day with hives and rashes all over him.
As a result of the awful experience Carol is sharing her story in a bid to warn others about the dangers that can come from touching the animals. The Echo reports that she has said: "Oliver was learning about caterpillars at school as his class were reading the whole hungry caterpillar story."
