people can have vastly different reactions to these kinds of exposures. for some it just be like a bee sting, nothing to really fret over. however if you have a sensitivity or an allergy it can be very serious. same as envenomation by anything else, really.
since the sting would also involve a puncture of skin, there is a risk of secondary infection as well. this is true of any cut or scrape from your tank. things like M. marinum and Vibrio thrive in saltwater (this is true in the ocean as well).
best advice with a marine stinger is to be careful and avoid contact.
