Many people may have heard that millipedes can bite humans and before they die, they lay eggs in the wound until the eggs hatch into larvae in our own wound. Let me tell you, just typing this gives me goosebumps.
Can millipedes really bite us? And can they really lay eggs and hatch?
Can living things grow in the human body?
In fact, it is not easy for creatures such as worms, insects, or other similar things to live inside our bodies because these creatures also need oxygen to live. But as far as I have seen, there are maggots of flies that have been found in some human inflamed wounds. But for the most part, if we are not in a very dirty place, we will not find them easily.
Can millipedes bite people?
Normally, millipedes are not aggressive and are quite sensitive to their surroundings. If they feel any danger, they will immediately curl up into a circle. They do not appear to fight their enemies. In addition, millipedes’ mouths are flat and do not have sharp fangs, so they cannot bite through human skin.
Millipedes lay eggs in wounds?
In addition to millipedes not being able to bite humans, they are also unable to lay eggs in human wounds. This is because millipede eggs are not found in their mouths, but in their bodies. Millipede eggs are large and can be seen with the naked eye. Millipedes themselves do not have the behavior of laying eggs on other living things. In the medical field, there has never been a clear report that millipedes can lay eggs in a human body and develop into larvae.
But millipedes can really cause wounds!
If anyone has ever had an experience with a wound from contact with a millipede, please know that there is a high possibility (more than being bitten by a millipede) that you have accidentally come into contact with a foul-smelling substance that the millipede releases from the ยูฟ่าเบท body. In addition to the foul-smelling substance, there is also a mucous membrane substance that can cause our skin to become suddenly inflamed. There may be a burning, hot pain and an inflamed wound, similar to the substance released from the rove beetle.
But I’ve actually seen millipedes come out of wounds!
If you have reached this point and still insist that you have seen millipede larvae in a human wound with your own eyes, there are several ways in which you might have found millipede-like larvae in the wound. For example, the wound might be on your foot and you walked on the ground barefoot, which might have brought in millipede eggs through the wound. Or the larvae found might not actually be millipedes, but some other type of animal.
However, as long as the possibility of encountering a millipede that bites a human and causes a wound and finds millipede larvae in the wound is very low, we do not want everyone to panic too much. But we must remember that millipedes can release substances that can cause inflammation on our skin. Therefore, it is best to stay away from millipedes.
