They bite, it hurts, but I have never gotten sick from one, although I've only been bitten by smaller ones. The little buggers crawl to the boat on dock lines and hide under the boat cover. Sometimes when I remove the boat cover I accidently grab one then wham, you know when they bite. Other than that they don't bother you, I leave them alone. If one is where I don't want it, I give it a quick flick into the water, they don't like that, fish think they are tasty. They scramble, on the water to the nearest safe place.
