Millipede Madness

[Trekhawk]

I was living on the Island of Maui for a short period in a cockroach and centipede infested dorm apartment. I felt something crawling up my leg while I was in the shower one night and it was a poisonous centipede that had come out of the drain.

YUK!!!!
That story and pic make me feel a little ill. Thank goodness the Millipedes are pretty small.....lots of them but small.

This grossed me out when I heard about them several years ago: Camel spiders in Iraq. They are not true spiders. Story is that they run after you screaming at you the whole time. I guess their bite contains a numbing effect and they chew on at night and you don't even know it! Till you wake up in the morning and you have large open wounds!



The picture contains two of them. One biting onto the next one.

Now that is creepy! I can't even handle the small ones, I can't imagine trying to take a shoe to that!

UGH...normally spiders really don't bother me, but those look like some nasty critters--especially since they bite!

My poor son grew up being terrified of spiders...but as he got older he kinda got over it. Then he went to Iraq, and I just had to warn him about the camel spiders! I think he was more afraid of that than getting shot! But he said he never saw one the whole time he was there.
