One that comes to mind is lead exposure, but heavy metals, petroleum products, or any products that have the warning “This chemical is known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm”. Is physical contact enough to cause these issues or must it be ingested/inhaled?

Your skin absorbs the harmful chemical. It gets passed on to the blood stream, where it can travel throughout your body causing damage. Note for extremely small doses of hazardous chemicals this process could take a lot of time.
