'The Worm from Hell' will now be a matter for the Labour Inspectorate

The Danish labor union 3F has reported to the Danish Working Environment Authority (Arbejdstilsynet) after construction workers in Odense experienced symptoms due to exposure to the toxic caterpillar known as 'the devil's larva' (egeprocessionsspinderen). The union is seeking an assessment from the authority regarding the safety of outdoor work in areas affected by these caterpillars. Odense Municipality estimates that the risk of rash and itching will subside in a few weeks, as the larvae pupate into harmless moths. Meanwhile, other unrelated news includes a private silver collector helping recover stolen items for Odense Museum, a Norwegian flight diverting due to cabin pressure issues causing nosebleeds among passengers, and updates on various sports and cultural events.
