Abstract
Abstract:There are numerous kinds of centipedes present across the world. All species hold venom in their glands. However, a bite of each kind has its reactions. According to researchers, it has not been that bites of centipede killed people or pets. The symptoms of centipede stings vary depending on the degree of allergic reaction and the size of the centipede. Classically, bite victims have severe pain, swelling and redness at the site of the bite, with symptoms usually lasting less than 48 hours. Symptoms for those more sensitive to the venom’s effects may also include a headache, chest pain, heart tremors, nausea and vomiting. We are going to report and discuss a case of centipede bite or first dose of intravenous hydrocortisone complicated with a rare presentation of dystonic reaction.
