While a 1000-legged centipede, or more commonly known as a millipede, is not venomous and poses little threat to humans, some species can emit toxic secretions that may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. They primarily feed on decaying organic matter and are generally harmless. However, if handled or provoked, they can defend themselves by releasing these chemicals, which can be uncomfortable. It's best to observe them from a distance rather than trying to handle them.
