Moths do not spread disease and are not a health risk to humans. In fact, most of the 2,500 moth species in the UK are beneficial and harmless. However, some moths can cause damage to property and textiles, and a few species can cause allergic reactions or skin irritation:

Damage to property: Moth larvae can eat the keratin in natural materials like wool, silk, cotton, fur, and leather. This can damage carpets, clothes, fabrics, and stored food.
Allergic reactions: Some people may be allergic to certain moth species.
Skin irritation: In rare cases, the spurs on the legs of large moths can penetrate human skin, causing dermatitis, urticaria, or stings.
