It is the United State's most venomous scorpion, it can be a serious threat to children (particularly 10 years and younger), the elderly, and persons with hypotension.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_bark_scorpion This should tell you a lot about them. There has only been 2 deaths since 1968. You still wouldn't want to get stung by one though. If you do get stung by one, the symptoms are numbness, tingling, and vomiting. Which can last up to 24-72 hours. If you want a good beginner scorpion I would go with the Asian Forest Scorpion, Emperor, Red Claw, Dictator, or Giant Desert Hairy. I would say the ABS is a scorpion you should get after you have gone through a couple different scorpions.
