The poison was applied to the door knob of Skripal's house's front door. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/29/ex-russian-spy-skripal-poisoned-by-nerve-agent-on-door-of-home.html That is why both of them were poisoned when they used the front door. That is also how the Salisbury police officer got poisoned, when he went to investigate their house. A very tiny amount, a quarter of a pinhead, of this military grade neurotoxin will kill a person. Experts believe the only reason they did not die immediately is that the dose was diluted since it was absorbed through the skin from the door knob rather than ingested.
If she poisoned him, why would she also poison herself? Why would she put it on a spot, the front door knob, that she needed to touch as well?
Also, although Engel reported she has apparently regained some consciousness, she may, and probably did, sustain at least some brain damage from the neurotoxin. No one intentionally does that to themselves.
Putin sent one of his assassins to smear Novichok on Skripal's front door knob. That's how this happened.
