Depends. If there ARE dangerous chemicals in/on the spoon, there's a good chance it could get it's chemicals that are in liquid form rubbed off into the coffee. On the other hand, if the the coffee is WAY TOO HOT, it could... well... vaporize the spoon... but don't be worried! As long as you actually understood me, you really do not need to worry about drinking unseen pool chemicals or losing a finger.
