My advice to any young person before getting married.
First try really hard to get bitten by a venomous centipede on a soft-skin
area such as the nose or eye-lid. Then pour turpentine on the wound.
You may or may not thank me later.

You definitely do not want to be bitten by this critter! The pain is
excruciating. A friend of mine was bitten on the foot while working

Centipedes (Class Chilopoda) have one pair of legs per segment. The venomous
fangs are modified legs folded under the

See James Reddell's biology chapter in Elliott and Veni's "The Caves and Karst
of Texas" 1994.

David’s comments raises a question I have. I have been wading Hill Country
rivers (Frio, Nueces and Sabinal)and exploring their rocky cliffs and caves for
65 years. I have had encounters with rattlers, water snakes, various lizards
