You dont need to worry. Teflon is made entirely from fluorine and carbon. Fluorine is so electronegative that the bond with carbon is insanely strong and teflon is therefore intensly difficult to break down into anything that could do you harm. its just too stable, that cooker could never ever get to the temperature required to do you harm.
As for dangerous substances, im in a pharmaceuticals degree so im regularly exposed to various acids, drugs, carcinogenics etc. of course i wash my hands afterwards, but over the years ive even had small amounts of heroin get on me and if you set alight my labcoat it would probably burn blue or something. Ive also been in contact with various radioactive substances spanning the whole length of alpha to gamma radiation, as well as exposed to multiple types of microscopic organisms used in research.

O boy! The human body, and in particular the digestive system can handle ALOT of weird stuff.
I once swallowed 2 needles (Which were concealed in a cookie for some strange up reason?)
EDIT: I also once drank some odd fireplace ignition liquid (I was 5. Thought it was regular water, turned out later it wasn't, and it was too late to vomit up again. Luckely, it turned out to be harmless. I just had to stay away from fire the following weeks)
I also once covered 2/3 of my forearm in Silver Chloride (AgCl). FYI, that's some ppretty unhealthy stuff to pour on your skin in such huge amounts. I had some retty severe Purple'ish decolorizations on my skin for the following 2+ weeks. Luckely for me, Silver Chloride isn't absorbed into the body!

But i survived with no internal ruptures on my intestines or permanent skin damage =D

once in junior high in chemistry class, someone knocked over a jar of Hydrochloric acid. almost all of it got on me, hands and pants. (I was sitting down) And once I accidentally broke a flourecent lamp and inhaled some mercury vapor. I'm allright now though.. (just can't get rid of this blasted cough!)
I was exposed to some radiation as a small child, but there's no real side effects... other than the hulk powers...
