It's safe to touch, I would wear gloves though. While it won't necessarily kill you, the fiberglass in it will get into your skin and itch like damn it.

is it regular pink type? if so just wear gloves, itchy. If its an older building it could contain asbestos, do not disturb that shit. wear a mask

Don't quote me on this ,but asbestos was banned from being used in residential buildings in the late 70's I think. You should be safe but , wear a mask anyways , it aint gonna hurt. Protect your lungs, I know all to well.
