Goofs

Throughout the series, the way Ned's gift works contradicts itself. Most notably, his entire business is based around touching dead fruit to make it ripe again for use in his pies. When he touches the fruit, it is restored to its pristine physical shape. However when he touches a sentient creature that has died, the broken/harmed/rotted body remains that way. Additionally, all vegetation is technically dead once it is removed from the root regardless of if it has begun to rot.

Faq

I saw Ned touch Emerson/Olive. Why didn't he/she die?

The only people at risk to Ned's touch are the dead and those he's brought back to life. Ned can touch the living (like Olive and Emerson) all he wants without repercussions; only Chuck, Digby, and Mr Charles are currently at risk of dying again (as well as the fruit in his pies, this is why he never eats them). It's true he doesn't touch many people, but that's because he's neurotic, on account of being hyper-aware of his power and scarred by his childhood, not because he can't.

In "Pigeon", I distinctly saw Chuck touch Ned without being killed again. What's up with that?

Ned's touch is only flesh on flesh. In that scene, Chuck was only touching Ned's sleeve, so she was okay.

How is it in 20 years Ned has managed to never touch Digby?

Digby somehow instinctively knows he can't be touched again by Ned or he will die. We see this both following the moment when Ned revives him (he runs off) and when he returns to Ned at the boarding school (he stops short of making contact). That's how he's survived 20 years without rubbing up against Ned's hand wanting to be petted, as dogs are normally prone to do.
