Yikes

This is way creepy, even the Jungle man won't handle or eat millipedes.
Millipedes are not poisonous, but many species have repugnatorial glands capable of producing irritating fluids which may produce allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to insects or insect toxins. A few millipede species are capable of squirting these fluids over a distance of several inches. Persons handling millipedes will notice a lingering odor on their hands and the fluid can be dangerous to the eyes. It is not advisable to handle millipedes, but when one has been held, hands should be washed with soap and water until the odor is completely gone.
I am inclined to report that I am wrong about this photo, It is a centipede not a millipede, because Dawn made me study up and be sure to be correct on what I write. So I did that and I can say I am creeped out looking at them darn creepy things for this last hour or so.
Because I am used to seeing house centipedes, I assumed all others were Millipedes, but I can report now there are a garden centipede with much shorter legs.
Millipedes differ from centipedes in that most body segments are more round
and bear two pairs of appendages on each segment instead of one.
The head is rounded with short antennae and does not contain poison jaws
