    Could they be line processionary caterpillars? If so, their hairs can cause severe issues (including blindness).

    I typically avoid caterpillars in the wild, especially hairy ones.

    You can contact your local health/environmental agency and request an ID from a professional. Where I live it normally takes a day or two and they can confirm if it poses any danger.
