Those little laser pointers that kids play with. What happens if you
shine them directly into your skin, such as a hand. Is that
dangerous?


No.

The only danger with these 1mW laser pointers is to the EYES
There will certainly be a warning to this effect on the packaging and
probably on the device itself.

The danger to the eyes does exist but IMHO often overstated in the case of
these low power units, as the normal blink reflex will protect the eyes.
However sometimes kids can do unpredictable things so maybe better to be
safe than sorry.
