As a child I lived in South Texas and when an asp fell on me, the Mexican gardner smashed that thing into the area and it stopped the pain. What a relief. The man told us that they have always treated these stings in that manner so from university study I know that that bug has to have the antidote within its body. Do not touch the thing with your uncovered hand or it will sting you again, From personal experience I speak.

That will counteract the sting. Be sure to cover the caterpillar with a leaf or something as you smash it. If you are stung by this caterpillar immediately smash it into the stung area .
