No matter how i perished it asap as i saw it...
Still, I couldn't get rid myself from the fate of get kissing by You ( charlie ! ). The lesion just cropped up as i arose from my bed 2 days ago.

It's been the 2nd time i got bitten by this pesky charlie !
As the consequence, it gave a displeasing appearance on the flexion side of my body region. =.=""

Yes ! The predisposing Site of this nettlesome insect is the FLEXION region of our body


Thus, i just browsed through some websites searching info about this insect.

The snippet of info which i got from the website :
-Common name of this insect : Rove Beetle
-Species Name : Paederus Fuscipes Curtis
-Malay Name : Semut Semai / Kayap ; Charlie etc.

It's carnivorous and eat smaller insect and usually they habitate in paddy field. During the heavy rains, the beetle will migrate to drier areas ( Check ! Bali is having the raining season a.t.m. )

The Haemolymph ( blood and lymph ) in the entire body of this Beetle contain the most poisonous animal contact toxin ( namely, Pederin ) in the world !!!! And this toxin will cause Paederus ( Rove Beetle ) Dermatitis ( Infection of the skin ) !!!!! ( Like me )
Thank God, It doesn't afflicted the mucosa area or my eyes.. because the result might devastastating ! No Joke !!!

It's very contagious...The lesion may arise as you contact collided with this beetle or simply touching those who having the bitten lesion. Don't touch me !!!! As you touch the lesion accidentally, please wash your hand with soup and water IMMEDIATELY !!!!

Penang people , pls take a note ! Do not overlooking this matter because according to the website, it's been affected high rise flat dwellers and dormitory student in Penang.

Since the beetle is attracted to lights at night, switch off the light...
