This is so not true. I lived with the side effects of the fiberglass chemicals that acetone carried through my skin when I built boats for 30 years. Every day. A year ago, the nurse GP I've been seeing recommended a natropathic liver cleaner that would clean out chemicals and heavy metals. Warned me it might be like a mini chemo regime. It did and it was.
Now, I never ate the stuff I worked with and always used a respirator. So it that stuff didn't go through my skin, how did it get there? (There was a lot of contact between the liquid resins, catalysts, acetone and my skin over a 6 year stretch.)
Edit: Sorry, an answer to an old thread I already answered. Oh well.
