Are marine worms dangerous to humans?

There are no marine worms that can inflict life-threatening injuries on humans.  However, there are a number of species that live in and around corals and under rocks that can cause painful rashes when touched.  Gently cleaning the area and using an anti-histamine cream may help ease the discomfort.
