Default Handling Hots, neccesary evil or un-neccesary risk

I often see people say handling hots is an un-neccesary risk.
But surely its needed occasionally to get the snake used to being handled in case they need treatment.
So what are your views?
Un-neccesary risk or needed/useful.

you can't handle them just for fun. if you have to examine them then yes...as with any other snake...but just for giggles....no
