A sizable millipede found in eastern North America is called Narceus americanus. American gigantic millipede, worm millipede, and iron worm are some of their common names. It lives along North America's eastern seaboard, north of the Ottine marshes, all the way to Georgetown, Texas.  

It is greyish with a virtually cylindrical body and measures 4 inches (100 mm) in length. From March to October, they are frequently discovered in or beneath rotting wood. When threatened, they occasionally curl up or expel a poisonous substance with high levels of benzoquinones that can burn the skin.  

This liquid could irritate your skin or eyes. Hydrogen cyanide is secreted by a lot of other millipedes. They do expel a material called as millipede burn, which is a brief, harmless skin discoloration.
