I'm looking for a word to describe something that's harmful to touch. A word like corrosive or caustic, but without the implied danger itself (acidic, burning, etc.).
Something like:
The surface of the floor is highly [word].
Ideas?

If you want words that don't identify the exact nature of the danger, deleterious, harmful, or injurious might do. I don't think there's a word that specifically and only means harmful to touch, though.
