centipede bite

[csgray]

Baking soda is also excellent for treating bites and stings from insects. I am super allergic to every stinging insect that has ever nailed me: mosquito bites look like bee stings, and bees or wasps could kill me if I don't deal with them promptly. I have had excellent results with treating yellow jacket bites with wet tobacco, I could see the red and swelling recede before my eyes and it turned into a minor irritation instead of a major health issue. I don't know if it would work with centipedes, but it would be worth a try if you get hit again. It works best the sooner you apply it.
