Secreting Shards From Finger Tips

I'm hoping someone can give me some information on an unusual circumstance a friend is enduring at the moment . He has what looks like tiny crystal shards pushing out from the end of his finger tips which are very painful. He tells me they taste salty and acidy. He has been a steady user of crystal meth for some time and I know a few users that have complained of finding crystal when they pull out a hair follicle but have never heard of this. Could this be a crystal residue or likely to be something else any info would be appreciated thanks- awe4some
I have never heard of this...I was a fairly heavy meth user for about 6 months...never had that problem...

I just wanted to comment because this is the third time I've read this and felt you deserved a post. I am really interested in this....


What is your friends method of use? Shooting (I am an IV addict), smoking or snorting? Is your friend involved in packaging the meth where the fingertips would be in constant contact with the drug? Just trying to help you figure this out.
Awe4some,
I have been clean from meth for over 6 years now but I used to use pretty extensively, everyday for about 3 years then I was clean a year and started using again pretty heavily for another 2 1/2 three years. I only smoked it, ate it, or snorted. I never heard of the fingertip thing but I used to know a person that swore that they could feel slivers or I guess shards coming out of their injection site. She also used to say it was escaping from her pores in her face. I know alot of the skin problems just comes from tweaking on your skin but that crap does exit from everywhere. Just like booze you excrete toxins from everywhere. I wonder if your friend is handling it as well. I know the chems and acid will f up your skin if not handled properly. I pray that your friend gets clean from it. It is the worst drug this world has seen in a long time. Back in the day it was crack. Now every idiot that has a computer or access to one has a makeshift lab. I used to know idiots who never even graduated highschool who all of a sudden thought they were chemists. It's pretty scary if you see where this stuff comes from and who is making it. Please tell your friend to be careful!
Peace and sobriety,
Valarie
