I am curious, I know it has been theorized that in ancient times rainfall
and the hydrological cycle was not present like it is now, the earth was
very humid, but had no rain. If absorption of minerals, chemicals and the
like is more prevalent through our lungs and skin when in humid atmospheres,
what is the absorption ratio as compared to through our intestine, does
anyone know?
