Metal conducts heat more readily than water. Odd as it may sound, metal stuck into a hot beverage will burn your mouth/lips more readily than the liquid itself.

But the liquid is still dangerously hot. And maybe if you are too disabled to safely drink from a mug, scalding hot beverages are not a great idea, anyway.

And you didn’t respond to anything else. How many people are actually allergic to metal straws that just touching them is enough?
