Shelob's Sting? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was just wondering how Shelob's stinger actually stung Frodo. Since he was wearing mithril shouldn't it have been blocked? I mean in the FOTR the cave troll's spear didn't penetrate so how did her stinger? I can see him getting stung if he hit him in the neck or something but in the movie he's hit right in the chest, which the mithril covers.
