Today, got a "bite" from Rove Beetle (Staphylinidae sp, 隐翅虫)..

"Love Bite"... Firstly, was thinking i was have some decolorization from the stuff that i have holding it.. but then i realized that it isn't.. how blur am i.... hehe :P 

Actually it is not cause by bite, it is the touching of it haemolymph that contain a potent toxin which is highly irritating to the skin. and thus leave those Love Bite on my hand.. :(


Pharmacist recomanded a Dermapro Cream which contain 0.05% of Clobetasol propionate. Hopefully it could heal this "Love Bite" then.. :P
