Topband: Effect of DC on Ferrite Toroids?

I recall reading somewhere that putting DC current through wire turns on ferrite toroids
could result in damage to the material.
Am I recalling correctly?
Is there a current threshold that should be respected?
My concern is the +12Vdc on the feedline to a preamplifier, which will pass through a
choke of 8 turns of RG-8X through four #31 2.4-inch toroids. The current is low.
