well glad some of my information was correct, haha. Always nice hearing the right info though. Love learning about animals

All the information I pulled out was from the recesses of the back of my brain, haha. I went on a nerd-fest a year or two ago and tried to be an amateur entomologist (at least within my own personal bubble :P ).

So if you're allergic to bees and wasps, chances are you're allergic to centipedes?

Nope. No correlation at all. The venom of wasps and bees have many similarities in their chemical makeup (which considering the closeness of relationship between the two is not terribly surprising). The venom of centipedes has a completely different composition.

I'd still rather not take my chances. I had no idea they got so big here.
