I'm not new to electronics, but I am (occasionally) an idiot.
So fat this week I have:
Touched header pins right after soldering, slightly burning my fingers...
Snipped a header pin with my hand it the way shooting it into my finger and making it bleed...
And then last night I thought I had something in my shoe, which seemed weird because I had my shoes on all day. I took off my shoe to see what was inside, and a damn single header pin had pierced the bottom of my shoe and I could feel it!
The moral of the story is: Beware header pins... they're more dangerous than I ever imagined.
