I got bit by a centipede?!
Question: I got bit by a centipede.?
I got bit by a centipede on October 18 & my mom rubbed vinegar & salt mixed together and heated it up. After that it just came swollen and red around it. The next day, my foot was back to normal. But 2 days later it started to come really sore and hella itchy around it. It kept coming bigger & bigger. My mom gave me hydrocortizone to put on but it only helped for a little while. What should i do about it .?Health Question & Answer
