I’d never heard of these until today when we mentioned going to Gorges du Tarn to friends.
Their dog nearly died after ingesting some there - apparently all around the crag was covered in them, and local events were being cancelled as well due to the numbers of them with people being brought out into rashes.
Gorges du Tarn was due to be our next stop but we might give it a miss now. I was wondering if there’s any particular areas to avoid due to them? I guess they will currently be out now we’re into spring.
Any are there any particular precautions to take other than keeping the dog on a lead and having an emergency vets number on hand?
