I was recently hiking and had grabbed a part of a tree stump to keep my balance. it was a tree that looked like it had been burnt from a past wildfire. is ash/burnt bark harmful to touch?

Not likely to be harmful but did you develop any rash on your hands afterwards? Did you wash your hands afterwards? In any case, if you developed no rash or other symptoms, it is very likely not harmful. If you have a rash, it could be an allergic reaction and your doctor can help with that! Best of luck to you!

It is highly unlikely that you will suffer any untoward effects from your adventure. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
