Could Burning And Red Body, Swollen Fingers And Face Be Allergy To Meth?

I injected shake and bake meth and suddenly I felt like my body was on fire through my veins. My skin all over turned beat red except my face turned very pale. My lips fingers and face swelled. I took a cold bath which stop some of the problems but now I still have a severe all over headache and my under my jaw before my neck is painful. Now I have injected meth before and this has never happened. Could it be an allergic reaction? Or maybe bad dope?

Or just a plain effect of amphetamine and its effects on the cardiovascular system (serious). Can be some bacterial contamination causeing either an overall serious infection or reaction to the bacteria that seems like it. Its likely to be a serious reaction.
