do not touch
Keep away please
Do not touch is a warning or instruction to keep hands off something.
It typically appears on signs near fragile, dangerous, or valuable items: Do not touch: wet paint.
The phrase can also function as a noun for something best avoided entirely—a do-not-touch subject is too sensitive to discuss.
