Where does one find dried centipedes in the states, or even Canada?

Are all those pedes wild caught or are they farmed? Is that just one seller in the market? If everyone eats them I would think they'd be kind of scarce.

I'd do it! I tried a scorpion, tasted kind of like a cross between fish and crab. Maybe it was old and not supposed to taste like that, I only tried it once.

Do you happen to know what for? I watched a show about a guy here in America who was Paralyzed in a bad car accident. He was bitten by a scolopendra in his wheel chair and all of a sudden could walk again. If they hadn't had video, I wouldn't have believed it. Have you heard of that there?
What else are they used for in Medicine?

Oh, and yeah, if you are farming them for food and medicine, they are probably huge numbers huh? Millions and Millions of Centipedes. I mean, you have a billion people right? That's a lot of pedes. I want to see that someday.... :)

I know! I read the whole thread. :) It's fascinating. If I come to china, will you help me find a centipede farm to go visit? I am going to travel outside the U.S. to take pictures of scorpions and meet new people hopefully in the next year or two. China has scorpions too, but I would almost go just to see a Centipede farm. That's amazing.
