BCH added at the eleventh hour a replay protection mechanism, so that's not the biggest issue. The risks are mostly sending BCH to an address which expects only BTC (or vice versa), and allowing less tested wallet software access to your private keys (which is why the recommendation is usually to first send everything to a new BTC wallet, before importing the now spent private keys into the BCH wallet).
