Some folk remedies claim that eating centipede raw can cure diseases, but researchers in China warned on July 30th that eating centipede raw can not cure diseases, but may cause meningitis. The researchers reported two related cases in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. They are a 78-year-old woman and her 46-year-old son. They went to see a doctor for meningitis symptoms such as headache, and both of them ate wild centipedes raw before the onset.
