No, they don't. They aren't poisonous either. In fact they are actually helpful to us: they eat bedbugs and other pests around the house.
ANS2:You would have to give them good cause to bite you. They can bite but they prefer to run. If you trapped one in your shoe as you were putting it on and it couldn't get out before you stuck your foot in, it might bite you. It isn't very likely that it would be in your shoe, though, that's where the Spiders hide.

∙ 9y agoYes, centipedes do bite. Although in this case, size does matter. The bigger the centipede, the more painful the bite is. Although the bites are not life-threatening to a human, they release venom from their fangs as they bite (not sting). Centipedes can be useful in your house as they consume spiders, and other small insects and arthropods. But, if they do become a problem, you should try to dry out damp areas in the house where the centipedes are usually found, and kill their foodsource such as small insects (ants, and spiders). If you have seen Earth or ground centipedes,(small long and skinny centipedes wth no eyes)they are not argressive.
