Should I Be Worried For Eating Some Plastic?

I melted a bit of my spatula like an idiot on my stainless steel pan this morning while making eggs. It has been 4 hrs. I think I probably ingested some of the plastic from the spatula, but have no real way of knowing at this point. Should I be worried?
