Processionary Caterpillar Gel - 2 fl oz / 50 ml

Professional Relief for Processionary Caterpillar Irritation

Exposure to the microscopic stinging hairs of the Oak Processionary Caterpillar (Thaumetopoea processionea) can result in significant dermal distress, including intense pruritus (itching), localized rashes, and systemic irritation. Our Processionary Caterpillar Gel is an expertly formulated dermatological solution designed to provide immediate cooling, nourishment, and soothing relief to affected skin areas.

Advanced Triple-Action Formula

• Immediate Soothing: Rapidly calms the inflammatory sensation and itching associated with caterpillar hair contact.
• Therapeutic Cooling: Provides a sustained cooling effect to reduce localized heat and redness.
• Dermal Nourishment: Supports the skin's natural recovery process and reinforces the cutaneous barrier.

Clinical Application Protocol

To optimize recovery and prevent the mechanical spread of stinging hairs, please adhere to the following professional application sequence:

1. Irrigate: Thoroughly rinse the affected skin with cool water.
2. Dry: Gently dab the skin dry with a clean towel. Important: Do not rub the skin, as friction can further embed microscopic hairs into the epidermis.
3. Extract: Utilize a PharmQuests adhesive roller over the area to effectively remove any residual stinging hairs.
4. Apply: Dispense a moderate amount of the Processionary Gel and lightly massage into the irritated area until fully absorbed. Repeat application as necessary to maintain comfort.

Safety & Storage Specifications

For external application only. Avoid contact with the eyes, nasal mucosa, open wounds, or compromised skin. In the event of respiratory distress or severe ocular irritation, consult a healthcare professional immediately. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dark environment to preserve the integrity of the active ingredients.

Pro-Active Recovery Tip

Stinging hairs can persist on textiles. To prevent secondary irritation, it is highly recommended to thoroughly launder all clothing worn during the time of contact at high temperatures.
