A centipede bite usually does not require tetanus.
Tetanus is caused by Clostridium tetani infection and timely injection of tetanus antitoxin can prevent tetanus infection. However, since centipedes themselves do not carry Clostridium tetani, and the wounds from centipede bites are not too deep, tetanus antitoxin is not necessary.
After being bitten by a centipede, although you do not need to take tetanus antitoxin, you need to treat the wound in time. If the injured area has a non-toxic stinger, you need to remove the stinger as soon as possible. Then flush the wound with an alkaline liquid, such as soap and water. After simple treatment on their own, timely medical treatment for rescue treatment. If allergic symptoms occur, you can take oral antihistamine drugs, such as loratadine and cetirizine.
It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly after being bitten by centipede to avoid delaying the condition. During the recovery period, pay attention to local cleanliness to avoid causing infection.
