    The document discusses dermatitis caused by Paederus beetles, commonly called "Charlies". When crushed, the beetles release a toxin called paederin that causes a linear rash and potentially ulceration on the skin. Examples given include dermatitis on the nose from a beetle flying into a man's eye while riding, vertical dermatitis on the nose, and kissing lesions from a beetle being crushed in a joint flexure, causing identical marks on both sides of the flexure.
