What else can I help you with?
Is hemochromatosis also known as iron overload?
Basically! It's when to much iron is absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract.
What drugs can be absorbed through the skin and how does this absorption process occur?
Certain drugs, such as nicotine patches and hormone creams, can be absorbed through the skin. This process, known as transdermal absorption, occurs when the drug molecules pass through the outer layer of the skin, called the stratum corneum, and enter the bloodstream. The drug then circulates throughout the body, providing its intended effects.
How do sheep defecate?

Can you absorb drugs through your skin, and if so, how does this process work?
Yes, drugs can be absorbed through the skin, a process known as transdermal absorption. This occurs when the drug molecules pass through the outer layer of the skin, called the stratum corneum, and enter the bloodstream. Transdermal patches, gels, creams, and ointments are common methods of delivering drugs through the skin.

What medications may cause gastrointestinal bleeding?
Medications that may cause gastrointestinal bleeding include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen, anticoagulants like warfarin, corticosteroids, and certain antidepressants like SSRIs. It is important to always read the label and consult with a healthcare provider if you have concerns.
Can drugs be transferred to people through contact?
Many pharmaceutical drugs can be absorbed into the blood stream transdermally (through the skin), such as nicotine or hormone drugs. Illegal drugs may or may not be effectively absorbed this way. For one, it depends on the size of the molecule and how lipophilic it is. Small molecules penetrate the outer skin layers better and lipophilicity allows the molecule to diffuse through the fat undernearth.Regarding cocaine, exposure of a dry patch of skin to cocaine powder probably won't result in any noticeable physical effects, but if you put the cocaine in the armpit where it can dissolve, this can allow minor absorption through the skin. And of course it's well known that cocaine is absorbed well through contact with mucous membranes (i.e., through the nose).My understanding is that crystal meth also does not enter the blood stream effectively through the skin. This is why the addicts do something called "skin popping" where they inject it underneath the skin.
