Its venom has an LD50 of 8.0 mg/kg, which is a measure of toxicity. The amount that would be needed to reach this level is far more than the stinger carries, so a single sting delivers much less than this dose.1

Hundreds of people in Cuba are stung by this scorpion each year. The stings are not dangerous, because the amount of venom in the stinger is far below the LD50 level.1
