designersing Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 My wife swears by lemon juice (!?) to get rid of Cobras, scorpions and nasties. I have cut up a few large centipede like insects around 7 inches long, I don have a picture, but has anyone seen these large blood red/purple centipede-like insects? They have a sting on the tail and can be deadly if your allergic, anyone know what the hel_l these things are?????!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 You may be talking about a millipede. They curl up in a ball when threatened and are harmless although some Thais think they sting or bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonrakers Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I think that he is talking about a centipede as I have seen something fitting that description before. A nasty beast it was that could only have been spawned by Satan himself, it was hissing and spitting venom as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHarries Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I agree sounds like a centipede. Watch out for them critters their bite, whilst not as bad as some urban legends would have you believe, is nonetheless very nasty. I am told that the difference between a centipede and a millipede is that the centipede has only one pair of legs per body segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2oDunc Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Is this the critter They do give a nasty nip but not as bad as they are made out to give. And yes the difference is these have only the one pair of legs per section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.s Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Is this the critter They do give a nasty nip but not as bad as they are made out to give. And yes the difference is these have only the one pair of legs per section a nasty nip? i was bit on the ankle in front of my house on lower sukhumvit. it was like a svere electrical shock. within 2 hours my entire leg(well above the knee) had swollen to about 3 times its normal size. excruciating pain for 2 weeks, over a month before i could wear a shoe. some are less toxic than others, but if you get hit by a bad one it is certainly not a nip.
