Answer:
Almost any bird that struggles for a long time while being captured can die from it later. This is because their attempts to escape damages their muscle, including their heart, while under stress.
Answer:
This is because their attempts to escape damages their muscle, including their heart, while under stress. So several days after being grabbed up and held they die of “white muscle disease.” (Different than the other thing called white muscle disease which is caused by selenium deficiency in farmed animals.)
Even a frog could die of capture myopathy/white muscle disease. It's one thing for a kid to grab up a frog and a frog jump out of their hands a few seconds later. It is another thing for a group of kids to pass the frog around, put it in a jar, and release it an hour later. It's possible in the latter case that the frog will now die.
The other option for death by touch are animals that catch our diseases. For example, a cold sore for a human could be deadly herpes for a small captive primate. Same thing for our colds and flus. So if you had a cold sore and kissed a “pet monkey” you could lead to its death, or if you petted a baby gorilla and gave it your flu.
Then, there are reptile eggs. Rotating reptile eggs can lead to the embryo dying, they don't get rolled like bird eggs do. So the act of picking up a lizard or snake egg will increase the chance that the embryo dies.
