My husband grew up here and although never bitten, his friends and relatives have been with varying results. He said that depending on where you are bitten, the size of the centipede and if you are allergic, you can have very little reaction, or you can become very sick and even need to be hospitalized for a week or two. My husband thinks that your neighbor's symptoms are from the bite and said that he should seek medical attention immediately.
