Fyrre-processionsspindere invaderer ejendomme på Gotland og Öland

Fyrre-processionsspinderen har indtaget områder på Gotland og Öland. Beboere rapporterer om kraftig kløe og udslæt fra larverne.

Göran Kring oplever det værste udbrud i 40 år ved sit sommerhus i Djupvik på Gotland. Måltiderne er flyttet indendørs, og børnebørnene kan ikke længere løbe barfodede rundt.

Larverne skyder hår af, der forårsager kløe og udslæt. Myndighederne opfordrer til at holde afstand, men det er svært tæt på boligerne.

Ved Böda Sand på Öland har campinggæster mistanke om at have set larverne. Länsstyrelsen råder til forsigtighed, især hvad angår hunde.

Larverne graver sig nu ned for at forpuppe sig til sommerfugle. Sundhedsvæsenets rådgivningstelefoner har modtaget flere opkald.
