I'd never say never. But if you handle wire properly there is little chance of getting "cut" by it. However, the ends of the wire are needle sharp and I have been knowed to impale myself a few times.
Ditto for the ultra sharp hooks I like to use. Not uncommon at all to "blood" my lures a bit. Not sure if that is an attractant or a deterrent to fish biting those lures.
Because of the potential for getting poked, it is a good idea to proceed slowly and deliberately and not to rush anything. And it is definitely an advantage to have some manual dexterity and coordination.
