Default Curses and hand cards

Hey all,
a little question came up recently...

let's say I get cursed "loose a small item".
I got a few small ones equiped, and also got some on my hand (may potions or whatever).
Rules say hand cards can't be touched (if not said different on curse/bad things) but on the other side I got the choice which small item to loose.

So can I discard a small item off my hand, since it's my choice what to loose, or not?

An "Item" card does not become an "Item" until you play it to the table.
A curse which targets an "Item" would never target a card in your hand, unless it specifically says it targets a "Card".

Cards in your hand cannot be affected by Curses or Bad Stuff unless they specifically mention cards in your hand.

Something like Brf said "An "Item" card does not become an "Item" until you play it to the table." would be a great thing at Card Management > Your Hand.
So it's clearly to see, that even items on hand can't be target of curses/... by (targeted) players choice...

The rules are pretty clear on the issue, however. They tell you, in Card Management, that nothing takes cards from your hand unless it specifically says it affects "your hand," and then the Item rules go on to say that an Item doesn't count until it has been played, which clearly indicates that a card is only just a card until it has been put in play.
