If you find yourself with a centipede bite, disinfect the wound immediately and apply ice to reduce any swelling. The pain should subside in a few days. There are also other ways, such as:


1. Tie a cloth around the wounds to prevent the venom from spreading. Untie every 15 minutes.

2. Wash the wounds with soapy water or other alkaline liquids
