Centipedes are considered a pest in the West, but in China, they are also a food and a powerful medicine. They are successfully used to treat tremors, seizures, convulsions, hemiplegia due to stroke, tetanus and snake bites. All centipedes have an uneven number of legs (anywhere from 35 to 155) and are poisonous, requiring proper dosage and usage.
