What Causes False Positive Test Results For Methamphetamine?
I am 60 years old and I am just beyond belief. I have never in my life done any illegal drug and I recently tested positive for meth anfedimines. How in the world can this happen. It was a hair follicle test and I m not on any drug at all. I don t even take an aspirin. I m out of mind trying to figure why this happened.

Hello,
Practically, any decongestant, but there is some false positives (not rare) for methamphetamine in which the cause is not found.
It is going to be very hard to convince people on this, however. The hair follicle test is considered totally reliable.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
