yeah would be willing to believe people are more tolerant of e.g. jumping spiders than other kinds

The centipedes at my mom’s house def bite, it’s very painful. Sometimes you need to go to the hospital.

Basically never walk around my mom’s house barefoot.

Have you considered cleaning out the house and closing all the gaps?

I know a lot of these insect threads tend to disagree, but sealing a house and only letting in air through very fine meshes is 100% possible.

Every time I bring this up people start taking like spiders and bugs can phase through solid walls of wood and caulk.

While I have no understanding for that, I do however understand that poverty or mental or physical health issues can make it difficult to get your home to not be a gappy mess. Especially as renters have no authority to do that.

Nope!
Ackshually, it stings, its forcipules aren't a part of its mouth 🤓
But when it comes to humans, it's in reaction to a threat (someone mentioned being stung by one that hid inside their slippers: put yourself in the numerous shoes of a centipede, cornered by a giant fleshy thing invading the cozy place you just found...)
It would rather flee otherwise.
