To follow up on this thought, an old steam turbine blader who worked with grinding burrs all the time taught me the metal you need the most protection from is stainless steel. If you get a sliver from carbon steel, it will fester and eventually come out. Stainless steel will not. It will be there until you dig it out. Eye protection, long sleeves, and gloves are your friends.
