While the sparks are extremely hot, their small size means they pack very very little energy. Certianly not enough energy to heat up your skin.

Coz they're small and not really hot.
See, fire requires fuel, oxygen, and heat. There's oxygen in the air, there's the butane as fuel, and the sparks from the lighter's flint provides the heat.

Who said? You don't get burnt, but you still get a good electric shock
