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.
