I have been ravaged by many a centepede over the years from 7 inch red ones to small bluish ones. I've had my foot and lower leg swell up from one. The one thing, out of many I have tried, that really seems to work and stop the venom from spreading is porcelain clay (probably any kind of clay will do it), I have a chunk of it I got at an arts store. Break a small piece off, add water in a bowl and make a slurry, then apply as thick as possible, let dry. This has to be done immediately - and you can actually feel the venom stop spreading.
