Mild curse: Every time you shake hands with someone, their palms are slightly sticky. (sh.itjust.works)

Feels like it'd somehow be worse if every time I shook hands with someone, my hands would be slightly sticky. Do I explain to them before shaking hands that there's a curse that makes my hands feel sticky so nevermind the ick, and leave them thinking I'm a complete lunatic (a fucking curse? Really?), or just shake hands and leave them thinking I'm some sort of unwashed barbarian?

The latter. Eventually someone will wink at you suggestively. It's your move from there.
