It's venomous, but not really enough to cause much harm to a human. People have gotten sick from a few species, but I've never heard of it from a water monitor.

Uhm, what? I thought the only venomous lizards in the world were Jeweled Lizards and Gila Monsters?!
I think with other lizard bites it's more of an allergic reaction to the saliva and/or bacterial infection that causes reactions.

As long as you keep your wound very clean you will be fine. Also, if you are on antibiotics, they will prevent any infection. It will be painful but should be better soon.

I have never even heard of anyone getting sick from the species kept in captivity. The worst I have ever heard about was a bite from a desert monitor (Varanus griseus). No sickness, no head ache. Just more pain, swelling, and bleeding. They just dont have the delivery system or the amount of toxins needed to causelong lasting, serious clinical problems in humans.
