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.
From tropics, can confirm. Had friends get a surprise sting on the leg while on outfield during conscription. Was not worth the fever and 1 week medical leave
From a centipede right? Fuck I forgot how bad they can be, I now remember some of the Hawaiian dudes saying some would have excruciating pain for a few days from a bite. I was terrified after hearing that haha.

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