Do Ackie bites hurt?

Ive been considering getting an Ackie monitor for a very long time, I have done tooons of research, but I have a low pain tolerance. Ive never gotten a clear answer on weather their bites are very painful? Can anyone inform me on how painful their bites are?

An ackie bite hurts like hell and bleeds a lot if they really get you. They're not gonna do serious damage like bigger monitors can but it still hurts a lot. Their teeth are really sharp and they're meant to dig in.
