How does the queens comb in Snow White harm Snow White medically?

I m confused how the combs poison could ve got into her skin unless it was stabbed into her scalp or something.

I know this is a fairytale and fairytales don't need logic but I guess what I'm looking for is logic.Maybe there is no logic and the story is more symbolic than anything else.

It is a fairy tale so it does not have to folow the rules of medicine, physics and logic.

But your scalpe is skin. If chemically covered comb could infect the skin of the scalpe and get into the rest of the body. It would not be a very effective way to do it, but is is possible.

It is a fairy tale, not real, so they can make up anything.
