I thought it was some type of fluid from the car at first. I still don't remove the shield, but I do always wear gloves now

I tape up the edges of anything that sharp when working around it, in addition to wearing gloves.

The ABS heat shield in my FD is permanently taped with reflective heat tape as well.
