ABSTRACT
Clinical aspects of centipede bite as seen in the Andamans are reported. Centipede bite produces excruciating local pain and burning. Local bleeding is common but transient. Occasionally local infection or necrosis develops. Constitutional upset occurs in a small minority. Centipede bites are never fatal and pain-relief is the cornerstone of treatment.
