No they should not, but they may contain a poison called solanine which develops in all green parts of plants in the potato family when exposed to light (so don't eat green potatoes nor the green stems or leaves of potato plants).
Solanine is a glycoalkaloid poison found in species of the nightshade family (solanaceae), such as potatoes. It can occur naturally in any part of the plant, including the leaves, fruit, and tubers.

The question is too vague. Are you cooking them, cleaning them, harvesting them - trying to deal with contamination issues? What, exactly, do you mean by 'handle'?
If you're harvesting, handle gently, because the skin is not cured yet, and will slip off, meaning your potato can't be stored for as long. Don't scrub or brush them, but place them out of sunlight (very important) in a cool dry place for a few days. Once the skin has toughened, you can wash and scrub to your heart's content.
