I was dinged in the back by a medium brown one. It hurt and left a welt, but the pain was gone the next day. I was also "scratched" by the sharp nails of 2 small blue ones; one on a little toe and one on the knuckle of a pinkee. They itched bad for a few days and that was about it. So relax. It's something you can tell your friends about.

I also spoke with a person who had a red one run across her face while she was sitting on a couch, minding her own business. It didn't ding her.

These creatures are aggressive predators but they're only out looking for chow, and if you don't mess with them, they won't mess with you.
