One bit me in the Caribbean and my finger swelled to like 3x normal size. That day started my terror.
Mr Lex Luthor said:We have centipedes at my aunt's house. They're very poisonous. I hear that if they bite you, you go numb and die.
I dunno if my aunt was exaggerating or not, but either way doesn't sound good.
Super Mark said:If they are dangerous, I kill them. But I always feel kind of bad about it. Especially a bat or a rat or a mouse. But I can't take a chance on them biting the family. So if they get in the house, I kill them. Hornets, wasps, etc. Spiders that bite (we've got some mean ones out here) and other dangerous things.
As for a moth, I'll try to cup it in my hands and take it outside, same for other less dangerous creatures. I guess I'm not brave enough to catch a bat. So I kill that which I fear.

Super Mark said:They don't everywhere? Hmm, I didn't know that. One season we had five. I used to jump (and screech) when I see a mouse, so a rat with fangs and wings was horrifying. I could barely move.
So when I found a bat flying in the room the first time, I made my wife shut the door behind me so I would HAVE to fight the thing. Which I did. I eventually got good at it. And, strangely, I'm not afraid of mice anymore.

To me, they're just like spiders, only 3 times more annoying...They're a bit more independent than spiders I would say,..Iceman/Psylocke said:Are centipedes that bad? I'm not sure whether I've even seen one before.
Do you know how big they can get?SuperFerret said:Centipedes and millipedes are poisonous, as are all species of spider. It's just a variation of degrees.
