Gila monsters are mildly dangerous to humans. They produce a potent toxin in their lower jaws, but make only small amounts of it. They also do not forcibly inject the poison, and rely on chewing and flipping to inject a lot of venom. As a result, most humans will be able to get the Gila monster off before it is able to deliver any very dangerous dose, and will be able to get to a hospital. There have been no confirmed fatalities from Gila monster bites, although the effects can be quite painful.
