Poisonous millipede

Comments

I just got hit by one of these animals over the weekend. I got bit on the shin. I wasn't aware of the bite initially.

First symptoms, very nauseous. This passed after a day. I thought I was over it. But the worse was yet to come. Severe rolling cramps especially in neck and shoulders, pulsing migraine, severe swelling and red rash around the bite, searing pain along the course of the toxin as it traveled up my leg.

3 days of hell. Avoid these animals. They are nasty. The Lao people go berserk when they see one. I can now see why.
