I've had silverfish everywhere I lived. I think they travel with me in boxes of books and such. They look like they're from some other world.

He got bit by a silverfish or a millipede - one of those bugs with a lot of legs. I forget which one but it totally fucked him up. It bit him above his eyebrow and it was all infected and it moved down his face. The doctor said he was lucky he didn't go blind in that eye. Those bugs are very poisonous.

Back in my college days rumor spread that mushrooms made your brain bleed..

Millipedes are poisonous. Silverfish don't bite.

Mushrooms do make your brain bleed. Tiny pin prick embolisms. It's completely true. That's why I stay the hell away from them.

He had two little holes - fang marks you could see clearly. Thats how they figured out what it was on his face. It looked scary.

Temperature is the most important factor influencing the thysanurans. Low temperatures result in high mortalities, especially among nymphs. Mallis (1982) reports that temperatures below freezing or above 112F result in 100% mortality in firebrat nymphs. Similar ranges can be expected for other species. Low relative humidities may reduce population growth or eliminate silverfish. In heated buildings, only food availability limits silverfish populations, and their numbers vary little throughout the year. Silverfish may enter buildings by way of boxes, books, or other materials carried inside.

Thysanurans are primarily important as archival pests although they may infest foodstuffs. Individuals are long-lived and reproduction rate is moderate, so populations grow slowly. Large populations can cause severe damage to paper and paper products.

Monitoring is best performed by detecting damage caused by silverfish (Mallis 1982). Book bindings will show minute scrapings. The sizing of paper will be removed in irregular fashion, and the edges of paper will appear notched. In cases of high populations irregular holes will be eaten directly through paper. Other signs of feeding include feces, scales, and small yellow stains.

Active infestations can be detected by observing the small, dark feces, which are visible to the eye as well as scales, which are visible through a hand lens (Mallis and Caur 1982). In addition the feeding activities of silverfish can be observed by coating a piece of paper with a thin layer of flour paste and placing it in an area suspected of harboring silverfish. If silverfish are present, the paper will show small feeding marks.

Two kinds of traps have been used to confirm the presence of silverfish. The first uses a small jar coated with flour on the inside and tape on the outside to provide a climbing surface. Jars should be placed in areas of suspected silverfish infestations and regularly inspected for silverfish, which will climb in the jar and become trapped (Mallis and Caur 1982). Conventional sticky traps such as those used for monitoring cockroach populations can also be used for detecting silverfish (Olkowski et al. 1991).
