The skin is a permeable membrane like any other, and fluid can cross it -
this is one reason why our fingers and toes are wrinkled upon getting out of
the bath.

"The Magnesium wouldnt be absorbed - the skin would act as a permeable
membrane and the mag would serve as hyperosmolar solution which would draw
third spaced fluid across and out of the tissues."
I don't mean to belabour the point, but do we know that fluid can be drawn
out of the tissues *through the skin*, as in through *intact* skin?
