Why does crystal meth make people itch?

common factor or due to the use of methamphetamine abusers impure residues cause skin allergies!

One of the main reasons the itching happens is because of unsterilized needles. This causes infection in a localized area and, with repeated use, multiple areas of infection. These bumps are referred to as "speed bumps." The other main reason deals with itching over the entire body. Because meth is a stimulant it brings about a rise in body temperature. When your core body temp rises you increase blood flow to the skin to get rid of the heat, especially through sweating. Sweating gets rid of the oils on your skin and causes your skin to become dehydrated. The psychological effects of the drug exacerbate the dry skin feeling and add an intense itching sensation that can be mistaken as a crawling feeling under the skin. The user then tweaks out and obsessively picks, scrapes, and digs at their skin. Hopefully this answers the question!

One common cause is a break down of muscle fibres usually caused by overheating and over stimulation, made a lot worse by not eating, further stressing major organs.High dosages can result in rhabdomyolysis, causing large amounts of proteins to be released into the blood. Urine becomes dark as the rhabdomyolysis increases and the kidneys can suffer mild to severe damage, repeated episodes of this muscle breakdown leads to eventual kidney failure.Edit - I forgot to point out, it’s the unbound proteins in the veins that causes the itchy sensation.
