NO! Millipedes are not dangerous. They are small but have many legs. Centipedes are dangerous, so don't freak out over millipedes. I should know cause millipedes are always in my house so I researched them.
Millipedes are not known to live underwater. The natural habitat for a millipede is in gardens, greenhouses, forest, or any other place where dead plant matter is available to eat.
