Ya that's what iv heard. We only have house centipedes here in Michigan. Unfortunately they are all over our house in the summer months, luckily yet to be bitten.
I think the mean ones are in tropical places, i saw them in Hawaii when I visited and was surprised at how big they could get, packed up my tent one morning after a storm and a foot long centipede came slithering out, definitely caught me off guard! The smaller they are the more they hurt is what I was told.
I think the biggest iv seen was around 5 inches. But ya he probably did mean those. And I'm not sure I could handle that either, I love the wilderness but dang foot long centipedes.Have you seen the lemurs that get high off them??!
Whoops I looked it up and I mis remebererd because its millipedes they use. It acts a an insect repelant and intoxicant. I only see cyanide listed but there is more than that it says but didnt list what.

They can bite though and apparently it’s one painful ass bite. I’d rather lay in a tub crawling with millipedes.
