I do not know if they have toxins but when being barbed by one it can cause great pain. I got barbed by one last week and still dealing with the effects. I waited 4 hours however before going to the hospital to get the little piece of barb that was still in my hand. I had pain going all the way up my shoulder and a rash starting on my hand before it was removed. After it being removed and an updated tetanus shot and a prescription for antibiotics, I dealt with pain and swelling for 5 days now. I got barbed on the hand and at this time I still have 2 fingers that are swollen worse than the other three and pain in my wrist like it is sprained. From what I read they are not toxic but their barbs do carry some toxins. The pet store told me it is comparable to a bee sting but please be sure to get the barb out if you have been barbed by one before waiting too long to get it done.
