To avoid unnecessary risk:
Don’t pick up a house centipede with your bare hands.
Keep children from handling it.
Use a container and stiff piece of card to move it if you can do so safely.
Wash the affected area if a bite occurs.
Seek medical advice if symptoms are severe, worsening, or unusual.
Get urgent medical help for difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, faintness, or other signs of a serious allergic reaction.
