rooster59 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Video: Yikes! Mum is just in time to save baby child from huge centipede Image: Thai Rath A video that was featured on national TV showed the moment that a mother grabbed her little child as a large centipede approached. The mum was on the phone but noticed the "takhap" advancing rapidly around her baby who was playing innocently on the floor. Thai Rath reported that bites from such creatures can be severe and need hospital treatment. In this case a man who appeared to be the father managed to trap the creature and no harm was done. Thaivisa notes that complications from bites of especially large centipedes in Thailand can even cause death.

Questionable reporting you would have to say. It looks like grandma comes in and not so much traps it, as breaks the things spine, which could be considered harmful if you are the centipede. I wonder how they cooked it after? 4 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buri utd Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I was bitten by one of these in 2018 and couldn't walk for 3 weeks, very painful, needed morphine injections, we still get them around the house but the dogs keep them at bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are all heart, not really inappropriate for a child to be playing on the floor near the mother, and she did spot the danger, so thankfully was keeping an eye out Edited November 29, 2020 by 473geo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toofarnorth Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Looks more like a harmless millipede to me. But then panic is a good option. I found an Elephant Hawk moth caterpillar and my wife said it was venomous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
