become resistive to around 330v of electricity over a long period of time due to continuous exposure to electricity?

just asking coz this is what happened:

There was this inter collegiate event, and i was the event manager(our cllge was hosting the event). Unknowingly, i did catch a bare live wire and i didnt quite feel anything and the fuse burnt out(like it does when theres a short circuit)....i didnt know if it was by fluke or wether epidermal cells can grow resisitve by the deposition of resisitive materials on the surface as i had been using a LOT of chemicals(nd i hadnt been careful enuf to wear gloves then) around 5 months before to make a mixture of resisitive Carbon based material that would also serve as an insulator(for a certain kind of glove).

so...is there any possibility of the polymer having been adsorbed onto the epidermal cells of my hand? and can it have any side effect?(there dont seem to have been any though)

Palm has a thicker skin. If dry a very brief exposure to electricity may not shock. Luckily the fuse melted. Cells don`t become resistant.

Water conducts electricity,, if your skin is severely dry, it may probably not carry out enough electricity to harm you. You should check, with a VERY LOW VOLTAGE device, after moisturizing and drying them, or do a test in a doctors office.

If your skin has moisture, thicknes of you palm epidermis won't matter.

I think you may be the worlds first shock resistant man. I hope you use this newly discovered power for good not evil. I even have a super name for you...... THE INSULATOR
