Pine processionary caterpillars are back - Pine processionary caterpillars are hatching across the French Riviera, marking a time of concern for pet owners and hikers. These toxic caterpillars can cause severe reactions in both humans and animals. The caterpillars are especially dangerous to pets, particularly dogs, and can lead to allergic reactions, tongue swelling, or even death. Local authorities have been taking action to limit the spread of them, including installing traps on affected trees. Pet owners should take immediate action if their animals come into contact with the caterpillars.
