I haven't had a proper bite, though when Cadmium was ill she gave me a rather annoyed nip when we disagreed on the importance of taking her antibiotics and that wasn't too bad. I think it's more that it's a shock than devastatingly painful.

If you're very nervous, I've heard it suggested that you could wear gloves to offer some level of protection? You would need to make sure that they haven't had anything dangerous on them though.
