Five letters were mailed in total - four to Washington state, one to Fulton County in Georgia - Mr Raffensperger said.
The letters to Washington have been intercepted and some tested positive for fentanyl, he said.

Of course fentanyl cannot be absorbed through the skin. Remember when the Merry Pranksters were planning to combine LSD with another drug that could be absorbed and paint the drinking fountains of the Republican National Convention? They didn’t, but those were the days,
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) does transport drugs through the skin; this was discovered in 1963, so it was in the news.
However, LSD is not a terribly stable molecule and does not go along with this plan.
Also, I’m pretty sure it was the Yippies (Abbie Hoffman’s bunch), not the Pranksters (Ken Kesey’s bunch).
Pretty sure I read about it in the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. But you are completely right. I believe it was a Stanley Owsley idea, and he never let a molecule get in his way. Anyway, I always thought it would be a fun idea with Viagra `
There are formulations that can be absorbed through the skin – transdermal patches for fentanyl exist – but it is certainly not going to happen accidentally or with regular formulations.
I’m assuming you’re talking about handling a dry powder form, to which I have zero experience so I can’t comment on. BUT fentanyl is absolutely administered through the skin with patches, used for slow release pain control. They’re incredibly helpful for people who aren’t getting medicated regularly or have difficulty with oral medications.
I hadn’t heard anything about this, was this recently?
1960s
Doesn’t need to be absorbed by the skin.
Opening it and having trace on your hands can land some of it in your mouth, eyes, nose, etc.
Don’t know if it would be enough to do harm, but pure fentanyl can kill at 2 milligrams. Which you could get in you through simple trace.
