While relaxing on a bench, they noticed an unusual little creature covered in fur that seemed to resemble a harmless insect. The children were eager to reach out and touch it, but Leslie Howe, who was at the Gwinnett County park with her baby and two other children, had a nagging sense of caution.
Leslie took advantage of the sunny weather and brought her children to enjoy the day outdoors. Despite their curiosity, Leslie wisely discouraged her children from approaching the strange creature, a decision that would later prove to be a very fortunate one.
It turns out that Leslie had unwittingly protected her children from a potentially dangerous insect. The creature in question was a pus caterpillar, which, unlike ordinary caterpillars, has poisonous spines that can cause severe pain upon contact. A bite from this caterpillar can cause serious illness and excessive sweating.
Caution is advised when exploring outdoor areas, especially in parks and places with dense vegetation. If you come across such a caterpillar, keep a safe distance and make sure children do not come into contact with it. The poisonous pus caterpillar has caused considerable pain in places like Florida and North Carolina, where some have suffered painful reactions after touching or being dropped by these insects.
Please spread this warning widely to protect others. It is better to be safe than sorry and not endanger the health of our children.
Baby rescued from a fire finds a loving home seven years later, after suffering severe burns from the apartment blaze
When a fire swept through the apartment where Deyvion slept as a baby in his bassinet, he was miraculously rescued by firefighters. Although he survived, the blaze left him with severe burns on his face.
This resilient little boy from Missouri embarked on a difficult recovery journey at a specialized burns unit, fighting to regain his health against the odds. Remarkably, he faced this challenge without the support of a family by his side.
At the age of five, everything changed for Deyvion when he became the foster child of Beth Plunkett, a single mother of two. “He was such a beautiful little boy, and I fell in love with him immediately”, Beth recalled, as reported by WGN9 News. “I often hear people say: ‘Oh, he’s so lucky to have you’, but honestly, I feel just as lucky to have him”, she added.
After spending 2,545 days without a family, Deyvion was finally adopted by Beth. “My biggest wish for him is to be happy and to always feel loved. I want him to set goals and achieve great things, and I have no doubt he will. God has an amazing plan for him”, she said.
In addition to his new mom and siblings, Deyvion has also captured the hearts of the firefighters who saved him. Deputy Chief Eric Smith of the South Metro Fire Department in Raymore and his team still remember the night they rescued this remarkable boy.
On the day of Deyvion’s adoption, Smith and his crew presented him with a special jacket and hat made just for him. They also treated Deyvion and Beth to a ride in their fire truck to the courthouse, where his adoption was finalized.
As they celebrated, Smith gave Deyvion a high five and expressed his pride in the young boy, stating: “He’s incredibly special. While we may not always understand why things happen, we certainly do now”.
Deyvion is surrounded by love, having shown immense courage throughout his journey. This brave and endearing boy truly deserves every bit of happiness. His story is one we all need to hear, a testament to love and compassion. Let’s spread the word about this inspiring little boy and shower him with even more love!
