Salmonberries - Should I Be Afraid?

I've recently purchased a salmonberry plant, which should be arriving any day now.  I happened to catch a video where someone had mentioned that the thorns on this plant always cause infection if they puncture your skin.  I can't seem to support this with online info, but there isn't much to be honest.  I'm clumsy and somewhat worried about this if true, just curious if any of you have any info on growing this plant.

Each kind of thorned vine creates it's own kind of cuts in the skin. In the past I have thought that blackberries might engage in slight chemical warfare in addition to the thorns. Salmonberry cuts aren't fun, but they tend to be shallow. I find trailing blackberry cuts to be the most painful. Those short thorns double back wickedly and set off my "paper cut" nerves.

But I don't think my salmonberry cuts have been more prone to infection.

I grew up picking salmonberries and I don't remember ever feeling hurt* by being pricked by the bushes, much less getting infected.  As said above, blackberries are much more painful.

If you're planning on picking a lot at a time, you might try lightweight gloves.  I don't think a single plant is going to bear super heavily for you, though - I'd consider it more of a pleasant snack on your way to doing other things.

*and I was a wimp!

I have wild salmonberry on my land in two colours - red and orange. I know that the red ones have pricked me, and I'm pretty sure the orange one did when I was working at getting the trailing blackberry out of that area this spring.  I have not got any infection from either of them. I find the plant far better behaved than either the trailing blackberry which tries to trip me, or the Himalayan blackberry which is determined to take over the universe and is dangerous to me both alive and dead (actually, it's worse when dried out).

Possibilities: 1. they attract birds so birds may be pooping on the plant and it is the poop causing the reported infection?
2. there is something in some areas that causes the plant to be infective - something in the soil or particular microbes?
3. some plants in the same species have different length thorns. Mine aren't particularly large, but larger ones might go deeper and that could increase the risk.

I'm sure there could be more possibilities. I will admit that my tetanus immunization is current, but that's more because of Himalayan Blackberry than Salmonberry. Himalayan can definitely give me grief. Tetanus is not a nice disease if you're older and it killed someone on my island a few years ago.

If it were me, I'd go ahead and plant it, try to make sure I had a decent glove on one hand to stabilize a branch while picking the fruit, and not plant it where it will get constant traffic while doing other tasks.  It is possible for people to have particular tendencies to get infections easily - I've got a friend like that. If the plant seems to give you grief, I would rehome it, because someone else may not have trouble with it.

Awesome answers and great suggestions thanks so much!  I shall plant it carefully and see what happens.  I don't have any trailing blackberry, so far my worst for thorns are tayberry & marionberry...oh and the black raspberries.  So many ways to get stabbed lol, not sure which colour this plant will be but it will be exciting to find out.  Thanks so much to Everyone for putting me at ease.
