What does a house centipede bite look like?

I recently picked up gardening as a hobby. I love everything about it except for the creepy crawlies in the soil. I was gardening without gloves yesterday and I think one of them bit me. What does a house centipede bite look like?

House centipedes’ forcipules will leave two red marks on the skin and cause swelling when they bite you. Those who are more sensitive to centipede venom may also experience:
  • Severe pain
  • Headaches
  • Chest pain
  • Heart tremors
  • Nausea and vomiting
If you begin seeing a multitude of house centipedes, you may have an infestation and should seek professional treatment options.
