Answers:
Well technically you might if your hands were dirty but don't freak. You'd be surprised if you knew all the places where little buggies hang out and would probably never get any sleep. They won't hurt you but if your real concerned just keep things as clean as is reasonable but not obsessed

yes!

Bugs? I don't think so, but germs, yes. Lots of germs. OMG YES. There are some many nasty things living under/around your nails. YUCK!
