00:00Suki, we all agree that we love our fur babies

00:04but what about this next furry?

00:07Not so much.

00:08You might be surprised by our next story.

00:12Everywhere you look,

00:13there's a roaring howl.

00:15It might be a pet dog,

00:17but it suddenly starts howling

00:19because of a cat.

00:20That's the situation of some residents in Lucena.

00:24The howls or howls

00:28enter their homes.

00:30What should we do in this situation?

00:33That's the story of public affairs

00:36of Doc Ferdzrecio in the program

00:38Born to be Wild.

00:46Not all furries are friendly.

00:49In the town of Lucena,

00:50you won't only see them in plants and trees

00:53because there are some houses

00:55that are being entered by bats.

00:59One day, they were just there

01:02and then I touched something at the gate.

01:04Actually, it entered inside the house.

01:07Next to Chian's house

01:09is a vacant lot

01:11full of plants.

01:12Since then,

01:13the bats gradually overpopulated

01:16their area.

01:17And in the corners of their house,

01:19you can notice a few pupae

01:21or one wrapped in a cocoon or case

01:24where the former bat will become a moth.

01:27To avoid being bitten,

01:28Chian just killed it

01:30so that it won't be able to enter the house.

01:32Aside from the pupae,

01:33the bats also visit them a lot.

01:36Wherever you look,

01:38there's a crawling bat

01:40even though it's a pet dog.

01:41It suddenly starts howling

01:43because of a cat.

01:45And the plants here

01:47are almost empty.

01:49They are a moth caterpillar.

01:52In their caterpillar stage,

01:54all they do is eat.

01:58When they grow up and stop eating,

02:01they will become pupae.

02:02And after a few days,

02:04after becoming pupae,

02:06a moth will come out.

02:09Even in the neighboring houses,

02:10there are also a lot of plants

02:12inhabited by bats.

02:14And according to the residents here,

02:16they just experienced

02:18seeing a lot of bats.

02:21Not only in Lucena,

02:23but also in San Ildefonso.

02:24Because of San Ildefonso in Bulacan,

02:26there are students who were bitten

02:28five times in their school.

02:30You can see in the video and pictures

02:32the intense redness

02:33and swelling of their skin.

02:36The redness and swelling

02:37brought by the bites

02:38is the effect of what is called

02:40setae,

02:41or their hair on the body.

02:43They are actually attached to their skin

02:45and into the glands.

02:47They are like quills

02:48to porcupines and hedgehogs.

02:51To avoid being put in danger

02:53because of the setae,

02:56it is important to know the first aid

02:58in case it gets stuck in our skin.

03:00So the first thing to do

03:02if you get bitten or setae,

03:04you should remove it

03:06using tweezers or tongs.

03:08Do not use your hands or bare hands

03:11to remove the setae.

03:12You can use adhesive tape

03:14and pull it right away

03:15to strip off

03:17and remove the small hairs.

03:19You should wash the affected area

03:22using clean water and soap.

03:24And use a cold compress

03:26or pain relievers

03:28for the setae and hedgehogs

03:29that have been bitten by the setae.

03:33Even if they suddenly get infected

03:35and get infected,

03:36we are the ones who will learn to avoid

03:38the places where they breed.

03:42They need to be able to go through

03:43their life cycle

03:45and succeed in becoming a moth

03:47because they are one of the

03:48night shift pollinators

03:50that help breed trees

03:52and plants in the wild.

03:54And their spike-like hair or setae

03:57is their only protection

03:58against bigger predators.
