Could handling a little bit of mercury be dangerous?

Back when i was 6 or 7 years old (i am 20 now), i found some old fashioned thermometers in my parents' bathroom. I ended up breaking them on accident and the mercury spilled out. I was so fascinated by it i played with it with my bear hands for hours and I think i might have even held it on my tongue briefly. There must've been about a dime-sized amount of it. Yep, not the smartest thing to do but i didn't know any better then. Could that have affected me in anyway?
