No I've done this before to see what side was hot and what side was cold. If you do it to long tho you will damage it.

I had a 120w pelt. I held it with my index and thumb fingers, and turned on the power. I about 2 seconds my thumb was COLD and my I. finger was warm. My 226w pelter only took one second to chill my thumb and heat up my I. finger.

thats actuallyhow you are supposed to test them, by connecting the ground then barely touching the positive for just a second. then make sure to mark the cold side so you know which is which. thought it might be an interesting old thread to bring back....

Only takes a few seconds and it wont hurt them until the cold side starts to get hot also that is when bad things start to happen...mark either the hot side as hot or cold as cold so that you know. It really happens at the rate of electron movement and the time it takes for the heat from it to penetrate the materials....
