In the case of lions, they have a grasping row of teeth like cartilage that can tear your skin.
In that case a bacterial infection is a possibility.
Next is the contaminants that our natural oils and bacteria from our skin that may pass on to our fish.
In the case of fish with larger teeth, such as a moray species, I have witnessed a shopkeeper have two fingers skinned and sliced in a flash.
These fish don't love or appreciate us, they only recognize a food source and if your fingers get in the way, then so be it...
Be careful,

Funny that his comes up. I found this the other day. Another reason NOT to hand feed.
Not for the faint of heart...
