Answers:
Centipedes have venoms injected to their preys, however they are not interested in human foods and they are not poisonous. Venom is different from poison. Some species are highly venomous but none can cause death in humans who are not allergic.

Being dead and it was on the food you ate, the main thing you were supposed to be concerned was food contamination more than the poisoning.

If you got bitten then that is when you need to see a doctor quickly.♥

CENTIPEDES

Centipedes are flattened , elongated animals with one pair of legs on most of their body sections. This easily distinguishes them from millipedes which have two pair of legs per body section. The total number of legs varies from 10 to more than 100, depending on the species. Centipedes have many-jointed antennae and jaws connected to poison glands which are used to kill insects and other small creatures for food. With powerful jaws, which are located immediately behind their head, they grasp their prey and kill it by injecting venom. Some species of centipedes have a posterior "pseudohead" to confuse predators. The real head is free to bite if an enemy attempts to grab or attack this pseudohead.

Because of their poison glands and ability to bite, centipedes do pose an occasional threat to man. The bite of a centipede, even the largest species found in the United States, is not sufficiently toxic to be lethal man, or even small children. The poison in a centipede’s bite usually produces only a moderate reaction similar to that of a bee sting, but if you are bitten and have a significant reaction, do not hesitate to call your physician. Ordinarily, centipedes dwell outdoors in moist, protected localities: beneath accumulations of leaves, under stones, rotted logs, boards, leaves, bark and compost piles. When disturbed, centipedes run swiftly. Centipedes many times will crawl into homes and conceal themselves in various articles, such as shoes, diaper pails, laundry baskets, boxes and damp towels left on bathroom floors. It is not unusual for someone to tell us that they discovered the presence of centipedes while turning over in bed, only to be bitten by the wandering pest! Although they are not considered aggressive towards humans, centipedes to not like to be cornered or touched and will respond defensively in such situations.

Because the products and methods for controlling millipedes parallel those for controlling centipedes, we have combined the control sections of these two pests.
