I'm a grown man but house centipedes scare the living **** out of me

80% Normal
19 Comments

Just around a year ago I noticed centipedes in my basement. In case you don't know about them they look something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1RjiiH_GdA

I realize they are harmless, but I am still absolutely terrified of them. I find them in my basement at times and once one appeared in my room. I am too scared to go into my basement because they almost always show up there.

Is this normal for a man?

      I'm in the Toronto area. House centipedes came from the mediterranean and were brought over by immigrants, and now are found across North America.

        Which Southern state? I used to live in Mississippi and I've never seen one of those things.

          Galveston Island, Texas. Centipedes are all over the place. You are lucky you have not encountered one. They freak me out. When I lived in Washington I remember there being tons in gardens. I use to catch them and make them fight spiders and beetles and shit.

            Whoa, I never thought about them back when I lived in Katy, Texas. I did see a normal looking one near swimming pool at my apartment complex in Clinton, Mississippi. It grossed me out. I've heard they were poisonous but I dunno.

            So do they have those freaky looking ones like OP is talking about in Galveston?

              Yeah. Centipedes can be found almost anywhere. I don't see them too often, but I know that they are around. I recently read an article about possibly using centipede venom to make a new generation of pain killers. It was surprising to say the least.
