Centipede Bite!

[Kenney]

One cool winter morning I grabbed a sweatshirt and put it on on my way out the door going to work. There was a little blue legged centipede in my sleeve and he got me good in the wrist. I don't get infected from them but they sting like heck, then a week later they rise up again and itch like crazy for a day, then they're gone. I used to put green clay on them to soothe and draw out the toxin. It's no cure, but at least harmless.
The big red ones biting never bother me. I always thought they're like Rattle Snakes, the small ones being more poisonous.
I haven't even seen one in ages. The hens keep them in check.
Just always look when you lift a rock. They love to hide in wet dark places.
