Rev. Moon Jew (OP) User ID: 798834 United States 04/08/2010 05:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is the first time in the 9 years I've lived here that I've been stung. Starting to swell and burn now but I've had hornet and wasp stings that were worse. Just hard to go to sleep knowing it's nearby abd still alive. They're really hard to kill too - when you cut them in pieces, each segment starts running around on it's own. Ugh!

Rev. Moon Jew (OP) User ID: 798834 United States 04/08/2010 05:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've never been stung by one. Does it feel like a bee sting? They're pretty common here but don't get too large, millipedes on the other hand get huge. Quoting: Leviticus 936541Felt like a needle - he got me on the shoulder. I know people who've been stung in much worse places. Kid I know had one crawl into his pants and I think you can guess the rest.

You mean you have been living with them for 9 years, and since they didn't sting until now, you just ignored it? I can only imagine how huge the nest is by now! |

I can't abide roaches, although I've never seen one anywhere I've lived in the UK. I saw plenty, and had to buy many cans of Raid, when I lived and worked in the Middle East, though. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 803644The one in my bed wasn't that big - maybe about 4 inches by the size of the marks on my shoulder. They do get over a foot long though.
