I have been sprayed a few times, rinsed the eyes right away and did not have any effect.
On the other end, I am getting an allergic skin reaction when I touch certains coral like frogspawn and hammer. Looks like the same type of pimples that one gets when touching poison oak and it itch like crazy.
A lot of things can cause an allergic reaction in our aquariums.

So I guess stinging was not the right word to use, my "point" is why not be safe and wear the gloves and or the glasses when handling corals to avoid the skin discomfort. It's your skin you decide.
