Can Meth Be Detected In Hair Test After 11 Days Of Its Intake?
Question: A friend took a couple hits of meth 11 days ago and a hair test today will it show up? Mind you that's the only time
Brief Answer:
may test positive.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns for your friends.
The factors which affect the detection of drug in body are duration of use, amount consumed, route by which drug is taken, body metabolism, weight, height.
Its always difficult to predict the exact time for which the drug will test positive in any of the samples of blood, urine, hair, saliva.
Meth can be detected in hair test for as long as 90 or may be more, even after single intake.
It can be detected in hair after 5-10 days of intake.
Unfortunately, there are chances that your friend might test positive for meth in hair test. Needs his luck to favour him.
Hope this answers your query satisfactorily.
Take care.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
the risk can not be ruled out completely.
Detailed Answer:
Keeping the figures in mind, the risk of positive drug test still cannot be ruled out.
There is no definite clinical way (except drug testing itself) to determine the risk of drug test coming out to be positive.
I wish luck to favour him.
