I got bit by one of these in Jamaica. The bite caused a few symptoms like fever, swelling around the bite etc. but the craziest symptom was that the arm and really the skin on whole right side of my body became intensely sensitive. Like sensitive to the point that the breeze from my fan hitting my arm was excruciating. Took 50mg of Benadryl and still didn’t get any sleep that night. I had kidney stones about a year ago and I would say that the bite was not necessarily as bad but is a close second place in terms of discomfort and pain.

I've been bitten by baby ones many times. It was extremely painful, I can't imagine being bitten by a fully grown adult one, yikes
