yea the other type of centipedes are nearly the worst kind of bite you can get. the giant ones that catch bats and eat mice.
Comment on legs to die for
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 3 months agoStandard house centipedes (I’m pretty sure that’s what’s in this comic) aren’t supposed to have a very painful bite. You may have been bitten by a different kind of centipede, or maybe had an allergic reaction, for your pain to be so severe.

Where are they native so I can potentially live the remainder of my life in irrational fear?

They’re native to Vietnam and live in most of the tropics, including Hawaii.

This might have something to do with it. Different type of centipede.
