While I generally try to wash my hands before handling paper, to avoid transferring oils etc. , I also try to be aware that a sundry assortment of chemicals may or may not be used in the processing of various papers.
These chemicals may/may not include :
Formaldehyde
Ink/coloring agents
Ammonia
Chloride
Sodium hydroxide
Urea
Rosin compounds
Probably most precarious contact comes from handling carbonless paper, receipts etc.
Most likely not a bad idea to wash hands with soap & water after handling paper for an extended time.
