I’m guessing this type of centipede isn’t poisonous? I’m glad.

I got stung in the elbow by a 6-inch centipede in N. Texas. For the next several hours it felt like someone had poured gasoline on my arm and set a match to it. To have that happen in, on, or near the ear would be torment.

I think mostmif not all are. It just varies by size in terms of how much it can mess you up.
