Worms have covered Zagreb's trees, and more and more people are being affected

The article discusses the increasing prevalence of a type of moss known as 'stjenice' in Zagreb, which is affecting both trees and people. The moss, originally from North America, has been present in Croatia for 13 years and is spreading rapidly. It primarily affects oak trees but can also impact other plants and forest vegetation. Residents report that the moss is becoming more common, sometimes appearing on clothing and skin, especially during high temperatures. While the moss is not dangerous to humans, it can cause allergic reactions and sleep disturbances. Experts warn that if the moss becomes established indoors, it can be difficult to remove. They recommend early reporting of infestations and suggest natural predators to control its population.
