Reply to comment by ExaBrain in Ugandan women drugs and robs men who suck her laced nipples. by insideoutcognito

Yeah but in that episode she also drugged herself, just slower, because her nipples absorbed the drugs.

So I find this kind of hard to believe unless they had some kind of skin barrier between the drug and the skin otherwise the same thing would happen.

Maybe she's spent years building up a tolerance to iocane powder.

..or the show was wrong and that wouldn't happen?

I don't quite get why you think the show I'd the correct source, there.

It's like that scene in Batman & Robin where Robin kisses Poison Ivy and she's like :O omg bro you aren't gonna pass out? And he rips off his lips and goes like HAH, plastic lips!

Maybe she does something similar, like HAH, plastic nips!

That depends on the chemical. Lot of drugs aren't able to be absorbed through skin.

You use tv shows as your basis of understanding for what would actually happen?

No, but it's a good example.

I also know skin absorbs things. That's why they make transdermal medications. Like nicotine or lidocaine patches, or what has helped me the most: Voltaren.

All your examples of things which the skin absorbs, are things which were specifically designed to be absorbed by skin - there's a reason they don't tell you to take paracetamol by holding a tablet to your stomach.

The fact that they make transdermal medications at all should be proof enough that not all medications are transdermal
