A member asked:
Can you get poisoned by fentanyl by just touching it, and if so on what instance would this happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fentanyl must be absorbed into the body in order to cause its effects, & there would likely be very little absorption through the skin in the way you described, but there could be some. Best to avoid contact with it unless it it used as prescribed by a physician . It can cause respiratory depression if one absorbs too much
