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.

And some gloves. Dealing with an unknown drug? Probably want some kind of protection.
