Centipede’s poisonous claws up close

Last night a giant centipede (about 6 or 7 inches long) slithered out from under a cabinet and across the tile floor, heading for my bare feet. I screamed, but have enough experience with giant centipedes in Hawaii to know what to do: Grab scissors, slice, dice and flush. The claws continued to wiggled in a creepy prehistoric way long after I severed them from the rest of the body. So I flushed them, too.
