centepede bite - helpful advice needed

[Andrew]

Update: Well it hurt a lot last night but today it's like it didn't happen except for some very minor aching when I rubbed the spot.

There are 2 little fang marks that look like someone sunk a staple into my foot and that's all. I am keeping an eye on it though in case of infection.

Last night when I was bitten I was walking outside after dark so I didn't see it. I went inside and washed the area carefully with warm water and soap. I then poured hydrogen peroxide over it to cleanse the area. Ice did a lot to ease the pain. I also took 2 antihistamines and 2 Advil.

Well now I can say I have been stung twice by scorpions, 3 times by Crown of Thorns star fish, twice by hornets and now once by a centipede. Just part of the package when living in the tropics.

Thanks to all for the advice.

Survivor Andrew
