Those nasty centipedes

[CaptnGlenn]

I have been beaten in the leg by a cacate in the jungle years ago. My leg got 3 times it size of yellow paste. To cut long story short it took me a year of pellicilin 500mg a day to get rid of the problem. I lost fews cows bitten by cacate. To tell you the truth i don t like them.
Once i had one on the back. I told my wife to kill it. She took the machete and she cut it in 2 parts on that evening. Next in the morning i was eating a pinaple that had been clean with the dirty machete. I could see the chichen trying to eat one half of that udge left over cacate. I try to be away from them but they are all over in the bush.

I know how you feel. I had one on the top of my head, and my two friends tried to help me. One swung a ball-pien hammer at the same time the other swung a baseball bat. Both struck at the same time, each missing the spider and hitting me on my head. Oh... wait a minute.. I got confused. That was in a Three Stooges movie I saw. LOLOL. One good story deserves another.

In our house the centipedes get in via the floor drain in the bathroom. When I covered the drains it stopped them and I slept a lot better.

Three or four times last week we had a giant cockroach invade our condo. I'm convinced each time they had come up through the floor drain in the bathroom, or the shower drain. A can of Raid worked wonders. I need to cover those drains up though.

Sounds like you're allergic. That's not a typical reaction to a cacata bite/sting.

"Symptoms
If a tarantula bites you, you may have pain at the site of the bite similar to a bee sting. The area of the bite may become warm and red.

If you are allergic to tarantula venom, the following symptoms may occur:
Breathing difficulty
Cardiovascular collapse (an extreme reaction)
Eyelid puffiness
Itchiness
Low blood pressure
Rapid heart rate
Skin rash
Swelling at the site of the bite
Swelling of the lips and throat"

I agree with your medical description, but in my case i was walking in the jungle path until i found in the evening a wooden shack. When i went inside there was half a dozen tarentulas bigger than my small hand on the ground floor. I ask the 2 locals who were with me to take them out. They grabs them by hands (dry skin) and left them away in the bush jungle.
I pressume at night they came back during my sleep on the floor and by overturning myself i got bitten crashing on one and you know the rest one year of ampicillin in my case. I was lucky to keep my left leg since i was 2 days away from any medecine.

I have 2 cats, one dark grey that I brought from the states, and a white one that adopted me when a kitten 2 years ago. In the over 3 years in the same house I have NEVER seen anything larger than an ant make it inside alive. Yesterday I found a large spider in pieces out by the front door. Even the little lizards don't make it inside, and I like them..............
Get a cat..........or 2.......

I have 3 to give away. One looks a tabby boy. 1 month old. Already eat everything. They are in Sosua, La Mulata. Anyone interested
