Millipedes do NOT bite humans... If handled they can secrete a mild poison that can irritate some people's skin. Do not confuse them with a house centipede however... Those do bite

A centipede bite looks a lot like a bee sting or a mosquito bite. Some centipede bites don't leave much of a visible mark. It depends on the size of the centipede. They usually prefer to run away rather than biting to defend themselves.
any answers?
There are many types of centipedes. The house centipede is the Scutigera coleoptrata and the earth centipede is the Pachymerium ferrugineum.
Not unless you have an allergic reaction to their venom.

yes and no they are venomous which means if they bite you their venom will get in you (poisonous is when you lick them like a poison dart frog has poison on it skin but centipede isn't like that).
The bite from a giant centipede is incredibly painfull, not for just a short while, the pain is intense for several hours, & persists with less severity for several days, as does the associated swelling. The best treatment is to wash the bite as soon as possible, then use ice to relieve the pain.

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.
Centipedes bite but they are not poisonus. If you see one they are not poisonus, but still don't touch it
