dear friend
MA entry in your body can occur via a variety of exposure routes. The most frequently cited forms are intranasal, oral, intravenous (IV), or inhaled
exposure to meth to detectable level even at time up to toxic level is also documented in individuals who have come in contact with contaminated surfaces.
so it is not very surprising that you have been tested positive for it
you can surf the net and find many reports on contaminated surface, including in law enforcement personel having been exposed to the drug in this manner
hope this answers your question
