The Giant Water Bug can be dangerous if stepped on or handled. They also go by their nick name "toe biter" precisely because this is the most common way people get bitten or stung when people accidently step on one. They inject enzyme like chemicals which turn the insides of their prey into mush which the Water bug then suck out. There are scant reports of Water Bugs bites causing severe pain and even permanent muscle damage. As a rule because these bugs are predatory in nature and can inflict a nasty bite, it's best to avoid these creatures and definitely do not handle them. Many Florida residents report that these bugs swim after you when swimming at night, in those cases even though it can be traumatic for small children, these bugs usually swim the other way when repelled without incident.
