You may not kill it, but the oils secreted through the human skin, is harmful to the salamander's slime coating. My best advice, is just to avoid touching the salamander with your bare hands, and instead using non-powdered latex gloves, anything to avoid drying out the little amphibian's skin. After touching it with your hands, because god-forbid, you were out of gloves, I recommend giving the little 'guy' a nice little spray down with spring water. NOT CHLORINATED!!! So really, your answer is, yes. Yes you can kill a salamander by touching it. But only if do it excessively without taking washing precautions afterwards. -From Lex Luthur1
