So In Thailand there are these fuzzy caterpillars and if you irritate them, they kick up their hairs which causes severe skin irritation. During the rainy season, sometimes wind or rain will cause them to throw hairs and if it's slightly windy, sometimes those hairs will get into laundry that's hanging out to dry.

I understand some of you condo residents on the 27th floor might be looking at me like I have two heads, but I assure you, it's a real issue in Thailand, especially outside of the city.

Anyway, my question is are there any creams or anything you can use to reduce the itching? because I am incredibly itchy right now.

Thanks!

yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
