Tussock caterpillars sighted: Experts warn to stay away from these fuzzy creatures

Known as the tussock moth caterpillar, those hairy light hairs around its body are barbed and can embed within the skin.  These caterpillars are being spotted around Central Florida. In fact, Sanford's Paw Park – located at 427 S. French Avenue – is temporarily closing for the remainder of the week due to an all-natural remedy to help manage the tussock caterpillars.
