If you only have skin contact with meth or meth residue can it get into your system and affect you???

Dr. Steven Simon answered

Poor skin absorption: Touching methamphetamine should not result in significant blood levels as long as the skin is intact and the drug was not mixed with a driver that would carry the drug beneath the skin. Snorting is a different issue entirely, as is contact with mucous membranes or eye grounds.
