Would you get a Schttkey Diode if one of your nervers fire past this RFID semiconductor?
Also, they'll probably need more then a few bits to be for the info to be stored.

I updated my post with a picture that shows the ones that are rice grain sized. It's encased in a neutral material so there's no interaction between the body and the chip. And the frequency they use plus the close proximity required for the detector makes the electrical characteristics of the body not that important.. or they've at least solved the problem, because they're available in commercial applications right now, even for human use. Pet tracking one of them, and even for VIPs in a bar!

For bulges, I've heard the webbing between the thumb and the forefinger as a place (I've got a lump of scar tissue in there larger than an RFID chip from a piece of wood I got in there when I was young, I never notice it).
And the even smaller ones:
Though that's without the antenna.
