    It is possible to absorb fentanyl through the skin, that part’s not a myth. Transdermal patches are a thing.

      Transdermal patches are mostly made of other ingredients that facilitate the skin transfer. By itself, fentanyl can be transferred through the skin, but it’s not great at actually doing so.

      Thats not fentanyl slapped on an adhesive bandage. Thats specifically formulated with other additives to do that. Drug dealers would have to add a lot of time and know how just to REDUCE how effective the straight fent was.
