Hey all,

Can benzo powders that are created when splitting/crushing pills be absorbed transdermally without a solvent present on the hands? I ask as I've come into contact with a fair bit of it cleaning off a pill cutter I've been using to taper off of Ativan. Tomorrow is my jump off day so I just wanted to make sure I'm all good; didn't want to absorb a fair amount through my hands today and then take nothing tomorrow. I know I'm being paranoid, but I hope you guys can give me some peace of mind.
 
If you wash your hands afterwards and don't leave it sitting on your skin, transdermal absorbtion of benzos that are diluted with pill binder is negligible. Maybe it would be a concern with pure bzds, but I don't think crushed ativans absorb transdermally very well if even at all.
