Leaving aside for the moment of exactly what you were doing with your tongue that would place it at risk of being bitten by a hamster...

It's going to hurt a lot, and it's probably going to bleed a bit too. It could potentially become infected. You should probably see a doctor... be sure you tell him what happened, because even doctors need a laugh now and again.

nothing will happen if you get bit by a hamster. There are cases of rabies but if your hamster took his shots then you should be fine. The chances of you getting rabies and the hamster dident take shots is 1 out of 1000. It is very rare.

Not dangerous. If the skin breaks just clean it with soap and water.

no, this does not mean that your hamster will die soon. However, if you have a dwarf hamster, the life expectancy is only about 11/2 - 2 years. A regular hamster lives about five years. But if you are bitten, you should watch out for sign of a flu-like disease or an infection in or on the bitten are.
