Can Liquid Hydromorphone Be Absorbed Through The Skin?

Can liquid hydromorphone be absorption thru the skin? I have to give my wife 4 to 8 ML of the 1MG to 1ML each night for pain. I draw it up thru a needless syringe and put it in her mouth sobbingly. I have random drug testing thru my work and came up positive for it yesterday. This is only way I can think it got in me. What do you think? Mark Can you recommend a resource I can use and copy/quote?

Greetings of the day

Hydromorphine does not get absorbed through skin, it does get absorbed from oral and rectal mucosa.

Take care
