^ It’s because they feel, and most of the times actually believe, there are bugs underneath their skin and feel the need to scratch themselves to get rid of that feeling.

Those pictures are just scary…!

right. There is even a term for it “delusional parasitosis”

@NeSCio

one thing you will notice that most of these persons seem to have lost weight. So is meth the missing link in losing weight?? :o

ummm yea I think the weight loss supplement industry made that link way back in the 50’s and 60’s

True, but try comparing it to a smoker. Smoking a cigarette makes a smoker feel good, but at the same he’s working on the development of a nasty smoker’s cough, and they get short breath day by day. This doesn’t bother a smoker much, because smoking still feels good.

meth users are prone to frequent skin infections and abscesses for two reasons:
1: Needles. Any sort of a skin breach (skin is our natural protection/barrier against infection) opens a person up to potential infection. Now imagine that needle being used by numerous meth buddies at a meth party …
2: the neurotic skin excoriations: again dirty hands/dirty nails picking picking picking away at skin is like extending a gold lined invitations to the bugs to invade the tissue.
