Not normally, although if you swallow 2 magnets (it has to be 2 or more - one won't hurt you) then it can cause great distress in your intestines, and other bodily parts of you (most of which can lead to death if damaged by magnets).

If you mean to ask if it hurts you to lick it, then I would say:

#1 why would anyone lick a magnet if they are above the age of 4-5?

and

#2 I don't think it would, though I would not recommend the experiment :).

Good luck with whatever!

Yes they, can but you would need a enormous powerful magnet for that to happen to you.

If it is strong enough, yes. One application of magnetism is to create heat via a strong magnetic field. These temperatures can reach in excess of 15,000 F.

Yes, if you have any medical implants such as pacemaker, or cochlear implant. An intense magnetic field could damage them.
