Pesticide Absorption Rates on Skin

The Skin on the Body is ruled by Saturn and Capricorn as it creates a boundary between you and the outside world. But, the skin absorbs different substances differently at different spots on your body. Guess that's Capricorn's eternal attempt to pacify its opposite sign of absorbent, watery Cancer. According to Rex Bills, Absorption is ruled by Neptune.

The most absorbent spot on the body belongs to Pluto. It's the Genital Area. That's ruled by Scorpio & Pluto. Now that Pluto is in Capricorn, wonder if some Health issues will arise in the Skin and Bones. Considering the inflation of the price of food we will all be skin and bones but I'm already expecting lots of skin cancer due to Global Warming and Skincare products that are hyperabsorbent (also Botox).

I've found an interesting article about Pesticide Toxicity that shows the different absorption rates of pesticides by the skin in different parts of the body. It's listed at the bottom of this entry. The URL was so long it literally went off the computer screen.

The palm of the hand and the forearm aren't very absorbent while the Genital Area and the Armpits are extremely absorbent. So, if a person handles pesticides with his hands then grabs his crotch (or goes to the bathroom without washing his hands before) he will suffer greater poisoning than if he drinks the stuff! They definitely need to add sinks with those porta-potties they put out in the fields with the farmworkers, that's for sure.

Pesticide that is inhaled is extremely absorbent because it passes straight into the blood through the lungs.

Genitals are Scorpio. Armpits are ruled by Cancer. Upper Lungs are ruled by Gemini and lower Lungs are ruled by Cancer. Skin is ruled by Saturn and Capricorn, and it's interesting how the areas of the body ruled by the Water Signs are so much more absorbent. Neptune/Pisces doesn't follow along as the skin on the feet are not very absorbent.

Here's a list of areas ranging from least absorbent to most absorbent. The meanings of the numbers? There's a picture of a little man with arrows pointing to all his most vulnerable spots. Wish I could add that but still don't know how to add pictures. Maybe if I took a Blogger for Idiots books and stuck it in my ... armpits ... I would finally be able to absorb the information. On the other hand, you can probably drink your Soda through your ... armpits. (These are stupid jokes, I know, just thinking of all the possibilities).
