"By definition" all Centipedes are Poisonous : They are Carnivorous creatures, However, The most Common Species , fully grown , can bite Humans : their bites are usually "harmless" to adults ( just very annoying , can cause inflammation ): they have little to no lasting side effects. : you could liken it to the effects of a Bee Sting .

Some species of centipede are indeed harmful - in they have a venomous bite. The strength of the toxins vary across different species. There is an estimated 8,000 species on the planet - but only around 3,000 species have been documented !

Although the bite from a Centipede can be very painful - it's rarely fatal to humans.
