Millipede burn

Millipede burns are a cutaneous condition caused by certain millipedes that secrete a toxic liquid that causes a brownish pigmentation and/or burns when it comes into contact with the skin.^[1] Some millipedes produce quinones in their defensive secretions, which have been reported to cause brown staining of the skin.^[2]
