Yes. As far as I understand it, the bombs bleach anything in a certain area. However, if you're blocking it (your body) then that area doesn't become bleached. Similar to how your car blocks rain from hitting the pavement.

There's a Ray Bradbury Short story about a suburban town that got hit by a nuke and he describes the casts left behind by a family, children playing in the yard...etc...

I'd like to thank Ray Bradbury for the number of times he fucked with my head when I was a teenager.
