Facebook user Sathish Shiva shared how he bought something from e-commerce site Shein and when his parcel from China arrived, it came with an unwelcome hitchhiker.
He shared a photo of what he says is a stinkbug, which “doesn’t bite” but can cause rashes and reproduce very quickly and cause an infestation in the house.
He added that the bug is native to China and it is likely that it hitched a ride in one of their parcels.
Here is what he said
Please be careful when handling parcels from Shien.
I found this insect in my house but this species is native to China. It is highly likely that it hitched a ride in one of our deliveries.
This species of stinkbug doesnt bite, but can cause rashes. Worse, it can reproduce very quickly and cause an infestation in the house without knowing.
Better to put your new clothes from shien to wash just in case before you wear them. Actually just double check any deliveries from China, be it Shien/Shopee/Lazada.
