Wow! thanks for the help everyone! A lot of great answers that I shall pass along to my class.

have you seen the size of this chemical? It has about 400 atoms in it...it's the second largest non protein natural chemical...is the skin really that porous? and your lungs too?

Hello there! I recently did a presentation in my university about Palytoxin. Someone asked a very good question that I didn't know the answer to and have been unable to find. So I'm hoping someone out there knows the answer. Palytoxin is such a large molecule, so how does it cross different barriers in the body? For example breathing and crossing the skin layer? If its molecules are so big shouldn't it not affect us? Let me know if you might know the answer! Mario
