Some wooly caterpillars can sting. But the commonly found wooly bear (aka banded woolly bear, the black-brown-black caterpillar) doesn't have poison structures, as such. However, the hairs may irritate skin. So, it would be more like a allergic skin reaction.

Yes they do. It doesnt hurt more than a small pinch at worst and it leaves a small red mark that goes away quickly. One just bit me. :(
