1. Please help, I was bitten by a centipede~~~what should I do? ! ! !

Centipedes are the second most toxic of the five poisonous creatures, second only to spiders. Even poisonous snakes will retreat when they see centipedes, but interestingly, scorpions and toads, which are less toxic, can easily eat centipedes. Therefore, centipede bites must be treated promptly. Considering that you have been bitten for a long time, it is definitely not enough to treat it on your own. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise there may be more serious consequences.

2. How to write a 300-word essay on Centipede

A shrill scream broke the tranquility of the night. It turned out that my mother found a bug with legs all over its body while sweeping the floor. It was faster than a rabbit and jumped onto the sofa in an instant.

At this time, the brave father walked forward, bent down calmly, and took a closer look. It turned out to be a centipede. The centipede was about 10 cm long, with short and dense legs on both sides of its body, which looked trembling. The interesting thing was that its whole body was black, but only its flat head and two antennae were red. When my mother saw my father and I standing by and didn't leave, she hurriedly shouted: "Husband, why don't you leave? Do you want it to bite people?" "Yes, yes, kill it quickly." Dad echoed. Then, Dad took chopsticks in his hand, carefully let the centipede climb on it, and then ran to the kitchen quickly, turned on the gas stove, and burned the centipede to death.

Later I asked my mother why she was so afraid of centipedes. My mother told me that centipedes are poisonous. They are called the "Five Poisons" along with snakes, scorpions, geckos, and toads, and they are ranked first among the Five Poisons. The farther away from them, the better. They hide in the dark during the day and come out at night to feed on earthworms, insects and other animals. Their bodies are made up of many segments, each with a pair of legs, so they are called multi-legged animals. They have jaws that can shoot out venom, and can even kill animals larger than themselves. There are also cases of poisoning and death among the same species.

I saw the true face of the centipede today, but I may not be so lucky next time.

3. What are the consequences of being bitten by a centipede?

Being bitten by a centipede can cause skin damage and systemic poisoning symptoms. After the skin is bitten, two petechiae appear at the wound, followed by swelling of the surrounding skin, burning, severe pain and itching, and inflammation of the lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels. In mild cases, the rash will disappear in a few days. If bitten by a large centipede, due to the large amount of venom injected into the body, in addition to local skin redness, swelling or necrosis, systemic poisoning symptoms such as fever, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, palpitations and convulsions may also occur.

1. Centipede bites. The wound is a pair of small holes, and the venom flows into the wound, causing local redness and swelling. The centipede venom is acidic and can be neutralized with alkaline liquid. Immediately rinse with 5-10% baking soda water or soapy water or lime water, without iodine. Then apply concentrated alkaline water or 3% ammonia water. Generally, there will be no sequelae.

2. If the swelling has not subsided, it is recommended to drink liquorice and mung bean boiled water, prick blood locally to expel poison gas, or tie it tightly with a cloth band 2 to 3 cm above the injured limb, relax it for 1 to 2 minutes every 15 minutes, apply ice around the wound, cut the skin of the wound, suck out the poison with a suction device or cupping, and use potassium permanganate solution or lime water to wash the wound. Those with severe symptoms should go to the hospital for treatment.

4. Centipedes often appear at home. How to get rid of centipedes?

Is it humid indoors? Or will centipedes crawl out of the sewers on rainy days? Buy pyrethrin (may be sold in drugstores) and sprinkle some in places where centipedes often appear and at the entrance of the sewers to kill them. (I have asked the drugstore about this a long time ago, and even the people in the drugstore don’t know what pyrethrin is.)

Remove creepers and other plants outside the window (I don’t have them where I live)

Sprinkle lime powder at the door, window and other places where centipedes may crawl in, because centipedes like humid environments. It is most important to keep the room clean and ventilated, and hang clothes out to dry.
