Ok, i bought it but haven't used it yet due to having a short AV Cable. Anyway, i read the instructions and i noticed it has Lead in it and i have to wash my hands after using it.

I'm being REALLY REALLY superstitious about this. Before, i wasn't but now, i am. If i touch it, i literally wash my hands.

Do i HAVE to do this to avoid getting defects, viruses, etc.?
