[QUOTE="MBullock, post: 221932, member: 33994"] they can bite and chew too, but they are very unlikely to bite unless you rolled over on one and it was trapped. another possibility, especially in winter is Lithobius Forficatus which can grow to 2" and has the largest forficules in relation to body of all extant centipedes, and those are WAY common in the northeast states, like cold rainy places and feed mostly on isopoda. So it could be a rather big lithobius, especially if the pain is deep and feels like you hit your funny bone- albeit through the whole afflicted extremity. Better clean that, slap some neosporin on it, and bandage it IMO. Dont wanna get a fingernail infection and it'll keep the area shielded from irritation. [/QUOTE]
