It is possible to become intoxicated with nutmeg, it is a powerful stimulent and small overdoses can result in death. Don't do it, even to help the number reading trick.

1 tablespoon will make you blind, allegedly.

I think you're quite safe if you use it for culinary purposes - I love it on steamed broccoli in place of salt. Any herb or spice when used in vast quantities will make you ill, or worse. Nutmeg and its outer shell called Mace take on a narcotic effect, so use in small amounts. There's an in depth description here: http://unitproj.library.ucla.edu/biomed/spice/index.cfm?disp layID=19
