@ZombieApocalyps they dont bite or sting and they dont have teeth. they use modified legs to inject venom but luckily most cant bite through human flesh.

Thank you! One bit me when I was sleeping. I knocked it oof, not knowing what it was (it was dark), but found it by luck on the carpet this morning.

damn i hate this creature.

[ZombieApocalyps]

Does this apply to house centipedes? They look scary but it doesn't seem that they can bite and hurt a human with its teeth.
