You are walking down the street one day and you see an old-timey lamp. Naturally the first thing that comes to your mind is to vigorously rub it. Suddenly a blue puff of smoke with a funny accent bursts out and thanks you for freeing him from his boring prison, and decides to reward you with one wish for anything you want.
Being a smartass, you decide to mess with him and say "I wish you wouldn't grant this wish!" As you smirk about your quick-witted smugness the genie places a curse on you so that from that day forward anything you touch would be turned into anything of your choice.
What would your choice be? Bear in mind that there is no way you can 'turn this off,' so remember that if you say 'turn everything to gold!', the next time you pick your nose you'll wind up with a solid gold face.
Personally I think the least horrible choice would be that everything you touch turns to human skin, so that you would still be able to touch people without murdering them.
Edit: OK, since everyone is getting really technical, let's just say that this 'curse' only affects solid objects, so it doesn't affect the air, or things you drink. It does, however, affect the clothes you wear and the food you eat.
