How do you tell if a centipede bite is serious?

A centipede bite needs to be judged as serious or not based on the amount of venom injected, individual differences in constitution, and the size of the centipede. Since centipedes can secrete toxic components similar to bee venom, the toxin needs to be removed promptly after being bitten by a centipede. Clinical diagnosis of severity is based on the amount of venom injected, the difference in physical condition of the individual, and the size of the centipede, etc. If more toxin is injected, the individual is in poor physical condition, and the centipede is large in size, the condition will be more serious. On the contrary, the condition is relatively less serious but still requires active treatment. When found bitten by a centipede, the patient can first flush the wound with soapy water or water, and localized swelling can be relieved by applying ice packs. Simple treatment and timely medical treatment, patients can follow the doctor’s instructions for local use of 3% dilute ammonia solution or 5% ~ 10% sodium bicarbonate solution treatment, redness, swelling and pain can be prescribed with dexamethasone, lidocaine, saline wet compresses. It is recommended that people with clear centipede bites actively seek medical treatment, do not self-medicate or prescription treatment, some patients also need to be injected with tetanus vaccine, in order to prevent tetanus.
