No. Platypuses do not pose any active threat to humans. If, however, a human foolishly interferes with an adult male, that person is likely to get "spurred", whereby a debilitating venom is injected into them, causing agony for possibly months. Cases of humans being spurred are few and far between, and they never occur without provocation, but they do not result in death for people.
