No: Even though you're pregnant, it is fine to touch the adhesive on the cardboard boxes. -- i agree, most cardboard box adhesives are corn starch based. They should be fine for casual exposure.

Non toxic: The adhesive on these boxes will not penetrate your skin and so you are safe. It is in any case, firmly bound to the box and will not come off with ordinary handling.
