Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Will Crystal Flakes Of Meth Cause Health Problems To Other Family Members?
My daughter is a crystal meth addict and her skin gets itchy. She says little flakes of crystal meth are coming out of her skin. I would like to know if these flakes can cause health problems for the rest of the family if we come in contact with them.
Meth flakes are not contagious and chances of getting spread to other family members are very less. If she has any bacterial or skin infection like scabies, then chances of transmission is very high. In such kind of cases, better to consult a dermatologist to rule out any other skin disorder. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
