rooster59 18,035 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Video: Yikes! Mum is just in time to save baby child from huge centipede Image: Thai Rath A video that was featured on national TV showed the moment that a mother grabbed her little child as a large centipede approached. The mum was on the phone but noticed the "takhap" advancing rapidly around her baby who was playing innocently on the floor. Thai Rath reported that bites from such creatures can be severe and need hospital treatment. In this case a man who appeared to be the father managed to trap the creature and no harm was done. Thaivisa notes that complications from bites of especially large centipedes in Thailand can even cause death.

Questionable reporting you would have to say. It looks like grandma comes in and not so much traps it, as breaks the things spine, which could be considered harmful if you are the centipede. I wonder how they cooked it after? 4 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This. Unless someone was suspended from the ceiling in the upper corner of the room and was able to hold their camera completely immobile throughout, this certainly looks to be CCTV footage. 4 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Buri utd 19 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I was bitten by one of these in 2018 and couldn't walk for 3 weeks, very painful, needed morphine injections, we still get them around the house but the dogs keep them at bay. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
