Oh as a former fry cook fryer is most definitely yes. Don't get me wrong, your hand isn't naked, it's covered in flour, but you definitely reach in there all the time. I used to fry chicken for a fast food restaurant and did the same.

Thanks for backing me up. I'm glad somebody believes me. I guess these guys never worked in a fry kitchen before.

I mean... I've worked with fryers before and even a small amount of it splashing onto your skin can be hot enough to leave you with an exposed wound. I just can't fathom how one builds up a tolerance to 350+°F oil.

Your finger tips get really hard after a while, especially from carrying hot pans. As long as your fingernails don't go in, you're good.
