No, ganglion cysts are not dangerous at all. (I have a ganglion cyst in my wrist).

I have a ganglion cyst in my wrist, and I personally know two people with cysts- one has a ganglion cyst on the side of her wrist and one has a ganglion cyst on the top of her hand.

Who performs ganglion cyst removal?
Some say, "Hit it with a Bible!" However, ganglion cysts come for no reason, and they go for no reason! If it doesn't go of its own accord within a few days, see your doctor! My sons experience with the ganglion cyst...He had a small grouping of cysts on the outside of his pointer finger knuckle.We did much research, and happened upon a product called "Red Dessert Clay" He took one teaspoon twice a day, and voila! Within one week, the cysts were gone!I definitely reccommend this remedy. Sounds less intrusive than surgery, or even book therapy

If a ganglion cyst is left untreated will it become very bad and serious?
I have a ganglion cyst in my wrist. Ganglion cysts are not harmful at all- the liquid inside of them is not toxic and the cyst is usually flexible enough to fit around bones and veins around them (in fact, my vein actually created a dent in the cyst because the cyst developed under the vein; however, the cyst isn't strong enough to break or even move the vein). Ganglion cysts rarely hurt and never restrict movement. Left untreated, the only thing a cyst might do is grow and shrink, which is perfectly normal. A ganglion cyst won't become serious. The only reason one might want to get rid of cyst (whether by a doctor draining or performing surgery on it) is for purely cosmetic reasons.
