    Not quite, but yes.

    In addition, you may smack an insect that walks on your skin, thus smashing it to a pulp, that turns out to be toxic.

    In addition, some wild tribes has been using small toxic animals, insects and alike to create liquid “juices”, they then poured on the arrows and tips of spears. It’s possible that even a skin-contact with such a substance may lead to unpleasant effects. I’d have to check the details, though.

        The question wasn’t about toxins, but about absorbing spiders via skin, which is funny, but imprecise idea. And the answer to it, is indeed uricating hair. You also completely and conveniently skipped the “natural toxins” as used by wild tribes.

        Now… You made the claim that eating a bowl of spiders is harmless.

        Photo, recording of you doing so, please.

        And please, stop trolling, because that’s what you’re doing.
