I am sure that there is more than one species of centipede in Japan but my husband was recently bitten/stung by one and it caused numbness and severe pain... Also.... the area of the bite was a little clammy for a while... We went to the emergency department and they told us that there is no cure for this sort of thing and that it would heal on it's own... I have researched it online and they say to wash the area thoroughly with soap and water and that ibuprofen is somewhat beneficial.... Also a warm compress is supposed to ease the pain... I read that centipede bites are not lethal and that it would take about 1000 times more to kill an average human.... We are currently in Okinawa, Japan... I hope that this helps you out....
