I got bitten by this hell spawn. I was sleeping and I guess I was stretching my leg and laid my leg on top of this thing.

I have never felt so much pain in my life. It felt like my skin was melting and burning at the same time. For the next few weeks, the bite mark would randomly start to puss and random shots of pain.

I'd rather have roaches. At least with roaches, they don't bite.

Standard house centipedes (I'm pretty sure that's what's in this comic) aren't supposed to have a very painful bite. You may have been bitten by a different kind of centipede, or maybe had an allergic reaction, for your pain to be so severe.

I live in Taiwan.

This might have something to do with it. Different type of centipede.
