One of the side affects of messing with the ark outside of divine protocol is hemorrhoids, seriously, it’s in the Bible.
I think you are conflating things.
The Israelites were afflicted with hemorrhoids once for a particular disobedience. And, God then decreed that some gold models of hemorrhoids be made and placed in the Ark.
I don’t recall a single reference to anyone getting hemorrhoids from carrying the Ark as instructed.
