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.

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.
