Touch at your peril - Tradução em português

Boa tarde!

Preciso traduzir um trecho e estou com dificuldades, gostaria de ajuda.

O trecho é o seguinte: But what the story was designed to indicate, in my opinion, is that there are certain things that you touch at your peril, regardless of your intentions. And those things that you touch at your peril, regardless of your intentions, most cultures regard as sacred, as untouchable.

Obrigado!
