This was 7 hours ago ! Are you are still with us and have you cut your hand off......... yet !

It may irritate your skin a bit, depending on the species? Don't get it in your eyes ? It'll wear off in a few days, it's like an iodine stain. They do it when they're scared or stressed. Just wash your hands when you're done handling it and don't get it on your clothes because it will stain fabric permanently. You are a big predator to him !!!!!! Yikes! He thinks he is going to be squished or eaten

You could ask Jeff, perhaps he has a special Millipede stain cocktail !

Most likely, Jeff not only had a millipede stain cocktail, but he probably has cocktails with millipedes....LOL but a smarter guy when it comes to bugs is hard to find. definitely check with him.

Have you tried hydrogen peroxide. just wet the tip of a cotton swab and dab it on the area.
if that doesn't work try bleach. just remember to moisturized the area after you wash the chemical
off. Bleach and peroxide can dry out skin.

Peroxide is the way to go. It usually takes away 'natural' fluid stains, shall I say. It is what I use after a good hand washing, when getting betadine or other staining fluids on myself or my work uniforms. It may fade it anyway.

[deranged chipmunk]

a cheese grater would definitely get rid of it

Still wont go away it's fading day by day but only a little!
I will never touch that millipede with bare hands again!
and also do they eat cabbage my milipedes are like no interest at them or maybe they eat organic compost? or are they eating cabbage but only a little?

it's fading only a little.....little by little and also do these millipedes eat cabbage or rotting apple from my fruit fly colony?the cabbage is fresh chilled not rotting... will they?Im having hard time cleaning my toothbrush I only use 3 fingers because the 2 fingers are infected maybe it would go into my toothbrush....and will they eat those veggies above?

I gave them rotting berries I collected from where I got them , they seem to stuff their heads inside does it mean its eating it?

[Sandy Bear]

Did you try Mr Clean Magic Eraser? Those things get everything off!

[exasperatus2002]

Lava soap (great for removing oil & grease) should work for you. Its a bar soap with pumace in it. Next time may I suggest gloves?
