What can the static from a CRT do to your skin?

This may seem like an odd thread, but I'm giving it a shot.

Every since I started messin' with TVs I noticed that if you run your hand along the face of a powered crt, your skin kind of 'absorbs' the static and then your hand has a strange scent to it, as if the static energy messed with your hand. I know this sounds absurd, but the smell is always the same no matter what type of set it is.

I got to thinking , could there be some sort of detrimental side effects to the skin from this static?
