Won't be blogging about any more centipedes for a while, for our house is actually pretty bug free... But sometimes they manage to get past the security system and I have to go and get the insecticide... Thanks for the all info guys, and sorry for causing any potential nightmares, lol!

I'd agree that it is a centipede and my guard replied "Akwai zahi", so their bite or sting is painful. They tell me at Danja it is a “shashanu” (or shaishanu or shashalu).

Beware those critters! Would one of these tread on you, they'd leave an itchy track the like of a jellyfish sting. Although, either (the alkaline property of) peeing on the sore or applying a concoction of centipede pickled in akvavit will bring relief. By the way, squashed scorpion pickled in akvavit works best on scorpion stings. Although I’d surmise that strategically scattered servings of caustic (Nigerien captain-based) lutefisk will keep the critters at bay just fine. I would concur with Tauratinzwe’s posting.
