How does topical medicine get into your bloodstream? If I spill apple juice on myself does apple juice enter my bloodstream?
In: 40
Your skin is somewhat permeable and you will absorb some chemicals through it, though the amount is generally very low. Think of using a cheese cloth to separate fruit juice from the seeds, or how water can drip through a coffee filter but the grounds will not.
So yes, if you spill apple juice, parts of it will enter your bloodstream.
