I'm so scared of these things I keep right away from them. Don't understand enough about them.

There doesn't seem to be much information about them out there. I've heard they can give you a painful bite but have never been bitten myself, and don't know anyone who has. I'm grateful to SimoneC who has been doing some work on identifying centipedes.
