Our case also presented with intense lacrimation and photophobia. A history of exposure to, but no direct handling of the caterpillars also was present in our patient. Possibly, the mode of hair entry here was airborne. [healio.com]

• Skin Disease

  How common are skin complaints due to caterpillars and moths? Caterpillars and moths are a rare cause of skin disease, particularly in New Zealand. [dermnetnz.org]

• Conjunctival Nodule

  Conjunctival nodules on histopathological examination showed a granulomatous reaction around the hair shafts. [healio.com]

  There was a conjunctival nodule in two eyes (6.8%). Resolution of symptoms occurred in 3-21 days. Treatment included topical steroids, cycloplegia, and removal of hairs with forceps. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  These include catarrhal conjunctivitis, keratoconjunctivitis, conjunctival nodules, keratitis, iridocyclitis, iris nodules, vitritis, papillitis, or chorioretinopathy. [omicsonline.org]

Some authors advocate conservative treatment, as steroids can taper the inflammation despite the intracorneal retention of the hairs.6 Disappearance of the engulfed hairs by 10 months after a 3-month treatment with steroids has been reported.3 Others, [healio.com]

The prognosis is relatively good even with intraocular penetration of the hair. Despite the grave range of possibilities in the manifestations, the outcome in most of the cases is satisfactory, if diagnosed early and treated appropriately. [ijo.in]

References Prognosis The prognosis is generally excellent. Occasional case reports of death from erucism exist, but death is very rare following stings by most species. [misc.medscape.com]

Prognosis Ophthalmia nodosa is a benign disease entity. With timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment, patients usually recover completely within 3 weeks. [eyewiki.org]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Children who keep tarantulas as pets should be instructed on safe handling to prevent the tarantula from adopting defence mechanisms and shedding their hairs. [nzma.org.nz]

Primary prevention Prevention of Ophthalmia nodosa can be achieved by wearing protective equipment, as well as providing proper education to high risk occupational groups, such as workers in caterpillar-feeding parasite breeding farms. [eyewiki.org]
