Centipede bite

[HCantThinkOfAUsername]

Posting here for traffic. Was sitting on a wall and got bitten by a centipide didn't even know they could bite . not much info on Google and I don't want to keep trawling though it as the pics of them are really freaking me out nothing here to clean it so putting ice on it.
Anyone know what to do?

I'd be quite hurt.. I thought millipedes and centipedes were on our side.

Amputation 😂😂😂

Hi op

I'm also immuno comprised and find tea tree really good for this sort of thing far better than antibiotics which make me quite ill

All microbeasts go for me (except weirdly, mosquitos not).
Antihistamine cream if you need it. Can ask a pharmacist. You'll be fine.

Ooh thanks both will get some today

Eurax antihistamine cream smells of the National Trust shops of my childhood holidays, so it's doubly soothing.

Millipedes don’t bite so if you want to cuddle a multi-legged beastie go for one of them, not a centipede. They can apparently squirt acid though.

Supposedly woodlice don't bite.
Lots of people say lots of bugs don't bite. Or rather, they only bite me!
I don't know how, but most of them make me swell up.
Gawd knows what a millipede can do. I wouldn't touch one.
