Tina,

    Yes holding onto something that is immersed in the ultrasonic can
    cause problems as well. It will depend on what you are holding on
    to; metals or glass will conduct the energy much better than
    plastics are your hands wet or dry there are many variables. The
    ultrasonics energy will not couple quite as well into your body from
    holding onto something so there will not be as much damage but it is
    still a bad idea. This is why there are baskets, beakers, racks and
    strainers sold to hold items in ultrasonic cleaners. -- Jim Binnion
