I think one of these got me this morning on my run. I had never heard of such a thing until a coworker described it. It just fell on my head from a tree, and when I went to shake it off it bit/stung the everliving hellfire out of my finger. How long do I have to get my affairs in order before the poison kills me?
Anyone ever been stung by an asp caterpillar?

OH LOOK AT ME! I WORK OUT!!
No but I've had friends who have. I don't think it was an asp as you would have probably gone to the hospital for prescription pain meds if it was.

Not everyone is a huge poosay.
I was climbing a tree once as a child, and I put my hand on one on accident. I fell from the tree but the pain from the asp sting was the worst part of the ordeal. A lot of crying, baking soda, etc.

If it was a furry white caterpillar and it hurt like a mother****er, then it was an asp.

Not sure if he was white or not, as I don't see races. Also it was poor lighting and he wasn't around for long before my shrieks and frantic flailings sent him on his way.
Does the bite look like this? If not, rub some dirt on it and go die in a ditch like a man.
Hope you figure this out. Report findings please.
Snake handling religious freaks.
Shot two rattlesnakes in the front yard last summer. Was that bad?
Yes, because you don't detect sarcasm.

I was stung by one as a child. It hurt like hell but didn't last too long. By the next day I was OK.
I've been stung by ants, bees, wasps, hornets, and scorpions. The asp sting was worse than any of them.

Just pee on it to take the sting out.
an unusual medicine for such stings that works is to use wet cigarette tobacco as a compress for the sting. I don't know why, but it reduces the pain and swelling.

I keep reading the thread title as "ass caterpillar"

You freaking idiot. I laughed out loud.
6 times on my neck and shoulder one night when I was 15. Worse than any other sting. Thought I was on fire
Wife's coworker grabbed a rail and didn't realize one was on the underside. I don't know if she crushed it with her fingers, but it hurt so bad she was bawling. She said she never felt anything so painful in her life.
This one just barely got me. I only briefly brushed against it with my hand while I was trying to get it out of my hair. I can't imagine how bad it would've hurt if it had made prolonged contact over a bigger area. Stung me right between the fingers and the skin was bright red for about an inch in both directions on both sides of my hand for a couple hours. Still hurts like hell and it happened about 7:00 this morning.

Growing up I was always told that these were asps
Found out later that it's not and that they don't really have a bad sting.

Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
They aren't that bad.
Step on a cowkiller wasp some time and report back. Or that catepillar in the east with the two black antenna sticking out of its head. Those freaks hurt. An asp stings for an hour or so then is gone.
