Tomcat is a kind of small beetle that looks like a fighter plane. Tomcat attack cases usually begin to appear at the end of the rainy season or during a prolonged rainy season. Tomcat is actually very profitable for farmers because it acts as a predator for many pests.
The term bitten by a tomcat is actually not quite right. Tomcat does not sting or bite. However, when he feels threatened and in contact with humans it makes them uncomfortable so he reflexively releases poison from his body. If increasingly threatened, these insects can increase the amount of poison to frighten their enemies.
Tomcat is so scary because its attacks cause various symptoms on the skin, from itching, reddened skin, and even blisters like burning. A person can be infected with tomcat poison directly or indirectly. For example, being stung, accidentally touching the poison tomcat attached to the table, towels, clothes, or items contaminated with this poison.
Tomcat stings or bites can trigger acute irritant contact dermatitis. Symptoms of this disease most often appear on the face, neck, hands, arms, back, thighs, or legs.
