Worried about RFID stickers at library damaging me

Physician Responded

34m - i've been through serious trauma and am just very hypervigilant about protecting myself.

my library uses these RFID "sting-ray" stickers that go on top of the DVD's, and they have an RFID chip embedded wtihin the sticker... and i'm just worried that if i touch the stickers or the rfid chip that it can somehow become implanted within my skin.

i often have to push down on the sticker when i put it in my dvd player... is there any way this can enter my skin when i press on this sticker?
