    Hair Folicle Test
    Hi... a little over 30 days ago, I tried meth. It might have been equivalent to a few lines. I'm not an habitual user, don't use it, just tried it, and haven't used it since. I now am going for a hair folice test for a job application and HR told me they are testing for drug use within the last 90 days. Will this one time use of Meth show up? Also, is there a hair folicle treatment that I can use to completely clean it out so I can have piece of mind.

    Thanks

    I'm sorry, but your stupid. Have you not seen what meth does to people? And they WILL be able to tell that you have used meth, there is no way of getting around it. Might as well save yourself the embarrassment and not go.

    My son is tried one pill of oxycontin 7 days ago. That's it. He doesn't do drugs. Tomorrow he will take a hair floicle test. Do you think the oxy might show in the hair?

    It depends entirely on the basics of the test.

    Oxycontin usually isn't detected in standard drug screens that test only for natural opiates.

    The hair tests all begin with an initial screen and only those that test positive at that stage advance to the more sensitive confirmatory test.

    At 7 days a standard opiate screen should be negative for Oxy.

    However multi-panel screens test for the semi-synthetics, including Oxy, using a lower cutoff, and it would be detected if it was incorporated into the hair. It is unlikely that one pill would result in detectable level in hair.
