Does a common house centipede bite?
It’s technically not a “bite.” They actually sting you with their barbels, and it is quite painful and can be dangerous, depending on where you are stung. I once was stung right next to my eye while sleeping, and had I not seen a doctor for treatment, could have possibly lost my eyesight. He recognized it for what it was, although I had no clue as to what had happened. Apparently, the sting has a very distinct look, with two holes that are visible in the swelling where the barbels went in. I actually still have a scar from this many years later.
