That makes sense.

I've been like the canary in the coal mine since I had a CO exposure 17 years ago. Almost killed my whole family. I"m the only one that came out of it hypersensitive to smells.

Petrochemical products are the most damaging.

My sister is chemically sensitive and gets terrible Migraines if she is not careful. Vanity Fair has perfume in their ads and one night while reading the magazine she had a migraine in
twenty minutes. One can order the magazine without the perfume.

Filling a gas tank she got an instant headache.

Washing silverware by dipping it into some solution same thing.

She does stained glass work. She wears a mask with vents. Now however there is solder out that is not toxic.. It used to be when she got migraines and did not know why. Lead was the ingredient that made her ill.

If one sprays Rid a Bug in a home she can get ill.

Once at a friend's home she became violently ill. The home was by a Green on a golf course and they spray inert materials on the greens. The wind was blowing in the right direction and
she became ill.

It took a long long time to uncover why she was in bed several days a week until we started to look at sensitivities to chemicals...

So you are right. The body does absorb them.
