We're talking of playing with the liquid, or even swallowing it. Not harmful, you'll crap it out. Really.
Yes, I've worked in labs, two national labs in fact. Beware salts, organics, and huffing boiled or aersolized mercury. But other than that, not a threat. Playing with balls of the stuff in your hand won't hurt you.
