My chickens loved to eat centipedes. They knew exactly how to kill them. They hold down the head and rip off the the head and the two fangs that on are each side of the head. Good protein food for chickens.
I asked a biology professor at U of H what type of poison the centipedes had. She said that it is a neuro toxin.
We had them everywhere on the eastside and I grew up in Lahaina and they were plenty there as well.
Only got bit once, fever that night and swelling for a few days. Then about three weeks later the area of the bite became full of pus. Popped it open, clean it out and was o.k.

Hey Rocky,
Here's one of the centipedes we have. Certainly not dangerous but they are creepy.


Laur - Those camel spiders are amazing. Just one more thing the guys over there have to deal with. SC pontil collector... sounds like it gave you a staph infection

Thanks for that info, NYdigger. I had no idea, but it's good to know as I am severely allergic to bees. Hopefully, I won't encounter either! I did have a lot of bees in my garden this year, buzzing around pollinating flowers on herbs and vegetables and none of them bothered me. I just had to be careful. They can be scary, but they're a great help to a gardener.
