Funnily enough, the amount of such ions is miniscule.
So is radiation, though.
Even relatively small amounts of radiation can be problematic when in prolonged direct skin contact. The worst are the ones, that just have thorium oxide powder sprinkled on them tho. Only slightly radioactive, sure, but when ingested that can quickly cause serious harm!
