It's really really rare for them to sting something as big as a person. They're just not wired that way and kind of have to be short circuited to do it, plus like I said, their stingers aren't usually long enough to actually go past the top layer of your skin. They're designed to pierce cockroach carapaces, not lumbering mammals.
