Brief Answer:
Yes, ketamine will show up in your blood

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question.

Ketamine is an NMDA receptor antagonist. It is a drug that is abused as a hallucinogen and dissociative agent. In medicine it is used as a sedative and to induce general anesthesia.

Yes, the ketamine will likely show up in your blood test as it is absorbed through the skin.

I hope this answers your question.

Best wishes
