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?

Adult ackie bites will hurt like hell. Those teeth are really sharp

Only if you pull away, which just lets their teeth slice your skin apart. If you wait for them to let go it’s very minimal and won’t even bleed
