This was an episode of CSI with Krista Allen as the escort with sedative laced nipples.

Yeah but in that episode she also drugged herself, just slower, because her nipples absorbed the drugs.

So I find this kind of hard to believe unless they had some kind of skin barrier between the drug and the skin otherwise the same thing would happen.

Maybe she's spent years building up a tolerance to iocane powder.

It’s inconceivable this doesn’t have more likes.

Happy cake day.

..or the show was wrong and that wouldn't happen?

I don't quite get why you think the show I'd the correct source, there.

It's like that scene in Batman & Robin where Robin kisses Poison Ivy and she's like :O omg bro you aren't gonna pass out? And he rips off his lips and goes like HAH, plastic lips!

Maybe she does something similar, like HAH, plastic nips!

That depends on the chemical. Lot of drugs aren't able to be absorbed through skin.

You use tv shows as your basis of understanding for what would actually happen?

No, but it's a good example.

I also know skin absorbs things. That's why they make transdermal medications. Like nicotine or lidocaine patches, or what has helped me the most: Voltaren.

All your examples of things which the skin absorbs, are things which were specifically designed to be absorbed by skin - there's a reason they don't tell you to take paracetamol by holding a tablet to your stomach.

The fact that they make transdermal medications at all should be proof enough that not all medications are transdermal

INT: Police questioning room.

AMANDA: I'm telling you officer, I didn't have anything to do with that man getting robbed.

CSI DETECTIVE: (leans over desk to loom over her, aggressively pointing between her and the laptop on the desk showing security footage). We've got you on security camera entering the building with him! We have video of you in the Uber. We have video from the restaurant and your dinner conversation just before that where you 'invited him to invite you to his room". which you both clearly did. We have you at the scene of the crime at the time of the crime. We just don't have a weapon yet."

AMANDA shifts slightly and looks down to her blouse and slowly straightens her back while looking up seductively. CUT SCENE.
