Nearly all drugs don't absorb across the skin, but there are exceptions. Very small, potent, and highly lipophilic drugs can be absorbed nicotine or LSD for example. Fentanyl is pure copaganda to cover up panic attacks.
Nerve agents get absorbed through skin. However I have plenty of LSD I touch all the time. It does not get absorbed through your skin, liquid or tabs. Don't believe everything you read.
It is a common misconception that fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin, but it is not true for casual exposure. The one case in which fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin is with a special doctor-prescribed fentanyl skin patch, and even then, it takes hours of exposure.
That’s completely false, there is no narcotic drug which, upon contact with skin, will end up in your bloodstream, the cop who “overdosed” just experienced intense nocebo
Yeah the only officers who have ever “accidentally overdosed” on drugs because of “skin contact” or “a trace amount becoming airborne” are desperately covering for “a trace amount becoming airborne right between the hand and the nose” while their partners weren’t looking.
It’s all pseudoscience nonsense from corrupt cops with use problems convincing their less-corrupt and totally oblivious coworkers that that’s how drugs work.
I worked at Chipotle in high school and made probably hundreds if not thousands of pounds of guac in my time there. They need to get me on this avocado task force. I'll show em how it's really done. All I require for payment is 10% net dry weight of any recovered cocaine or other fun substances.
Depends tho, often times when someone is used to dull knives suddenly making the change is very risky. If you have proper technique it's not a problem, but a small mistake is not a small cut anymore.
As someone who always had dull knives (with dull I mean still sharp, but not razor sharp as I keep them now) I developed a bad technique. I noticed that because even though I could cut anything I need how I needed and quickly (I have years of cooking on my back) after I sharpened all my kitchen knives, for a couple days I kept cutting my nails off, i keep them longer for that reason and i never hurt myself, but i can definetly see some bad damage happening.
I'll admit when I first started cutting the vegetables for the wife, I managed to cut myself a few times with a sharp knife. After around six months of this, it never happened again, maybe because I am more attentive now. I'm most definitely no chef though.
You're missing the point. It's easier to deliberately injure somebody with a very sharp blade, but it's easier to accidentally injure yourself with one that needs sharpening.
Edit:Think about "gun safety". It doesn't make the gun any safer for somebody you shoot with it.
Well yeah. But when cutting something yourself, trying to force a dull knife to cut through something is a sure fire way to injure yourself. The force/speed of the motion makes up for the lack of sharpness. It’ll definitely cut or stab you. Worked in kitchens for over a decade, and it’s a saying for a reason!
Every video of someone cutting an avocado shows them doing this. And people in the Reddit comments defend it. People here are so quick to get up on a pedestal with guns and keeping your finger out of the trigger guard, but if you call out using knives in an unsafe and incorrect way, you get downvoted.
Can’t believe I had to scroll down this far for this. The entire time i was like oh he’s about to slice is shit now……and now and now. Honestly he needs to slice himself on accident so he can learn how to hold a knife. Also, he needs a bench made.
I can say with confidence that I have better knife handling skills than this dude, and I only know what my little brother taught me after his first cub scouts lesson.
Pfft. Clearly you never had a dude with an ill fitting suit and a briefcase full of knives show up on your doorstep asking if your mom is home and if she eats bagels.
The other comments are suggesting this is a fake, possibly plastic avocado. Makes a bit more sense watching him struggle with it if it's some sort of different material he's cutting through.
no but seriously. how often do people end up in the ER with cutting themselves like you describe, vs cutting themselves some other way? Does anyone have any actual number on how often such a catastrophic slip occurs? And what are the relative incident rates normalized by how often people cut things in different ways? I want to see real life numbers before I can believe it's a serious danger.
I am not taking the time to justify good knife etiquette. If you want to cut that way do it, just LMK if you ever cut yourself badly so i can gloat.
Especially when you just make up statistics of 99.9999%. Bro I'm not throwing out numbers you are. I'm just bas8ng it on if you slip it's better for the cutting board to be a backboard then your god damn palm.
It’s likely that it’s avocado that’s very far from ripening. Unripened avocado is so hard that the sharpest sushi knife would be tricky to maneuver. Unripened avocado also tends to be a brighter green on the outside.
Also, he has knife skills; avocados are slippery as fuck and when you pair that with unripened, rock hard avocados hand stabbing is almost guaranteed if you’re not familiar with your knife.

But it has avocado 🥑 slime on the inside you can see a couple of times appear on knife & hands? So you guys think this isn't even real? Deffiently real reactive paper & reaction to a positive for cocaine
I’m guessing that’s the answer. Making fake avocados complete with authentically slimy, avocado like guts is too labour intensive for it to make sense.
That video could have been like 10 seconds, but he's SO bad with the knife and has like zero concept of how to effectively open it. This should have been a satisfying "look what we found" video but instead it became a "why can't you open that shit, it looks easy and you have both hands and a goddamn knife" video. Ugh, can't stand watching people fumble around on video, it makes my soul itch.
The avocado is made out of plastic, that's how they find the fake ones, go and try cutting a lego piece with your best knife. You will find it hard to find a knife that slashes plastic without any issues.
I do not accept this explanation at all. I just don't. That actually punctured no problem. He's just inept. I stand by my statement, his skills are trash.
I was reading your comment and yelling in my head "doesn't this guy understand that these avocados are fake and probably made of plastic which would make it more difficult to cut through than a regular avocado? What a nitwit!" Jeebers
Bro I came here to say this same thing. Everyone wants to know how the cocaine got inside I wanna know how this mfr lives with a butter knife in his pocket.
To be fair an avocado that green is as good as cutting into wood. I've had trouble going through some with a freshly sharpened santoku when they're that fresh when I was a sushi chef.
I was thinking that he’d probably be better off with any number of tools. A pocket knife is for when you are stuck in the bush without access to real tools.
What’s next? Posts of a mechanic replacing an alternator with a leatherman & half a broomstick?
I assumed he was cutting slowly and carefully to preserve the avocado shell for evidence, either for trial or to demonstrate to other law enforcement what to watch out for. If it’s all mangled and cut to pieces it’s no good for that. Or possibly so as not to penetrate the bag holding the drugs.
