I took Ecstasy 4 months ago will I test positive on a hair follicle test using arm pit hair?

Question

This is the only time I ever used and it was 128 days prior to my test.

Answer 1

I believe it only stays in your system 72 hours but your hair will give results dating up to 1 year.

Answer 2

Hair testing is quite accurate and can go back 6 months, or futher depending on how long your hair is and it shows all of the toxins you used in a sort of timeline. Many people try to get around this by just shaving their head. Know that they will go for your underarm, pubic, leg or arm hair if you do not have the required 1/2 inch on your head. so yes any body hair will do .....go for a whole body wax haha good luck

Answer 3

Arm pit hair??...lmao...ok, hair tests can go back 7 years.

Answer 4

Nope, using a hair strand you can trace back to a few years.

Answer 5

Whoo-Hoo.  Lots of copy-paste jobs from Wikipedia on this question!

Anyway, to get back to the question.  No drug  is detectable after 120 days.  Average is 90 days but with Cannabis 120 days (and new data disputes this, lowering the average to 7 days).

A hair drug test with initial screen and confirmation requires 100-milligrams of hair (90 to 120 strands or about the diameter of a pencil and 1.5 inches long).  Arm pit hair is not going to do it then, unless you are very hairy or volunteer pubic hair.

If you are using any form of medication it is advisable to look it up and ascertain if something you take can cause a false positive (see Excel link)

Answer 6

There are several points to consider and point out.

Hair testing is considered highly accurate and can go back normally 3 months  but sometimes 6 months or longer possible with special tests.  

Doesnt matter if it was the 1st or 81st time you used.  But if they're not looking specifically for X, you should be good.  

Armpit hair?  You proabably don't have any on you that is 4 months old, so I KNOW you're good.  But still, learn from your mistake and correct your ways.  As Jesus said in John 8:11 "Go and from now on sin no more."

BUT, should you fail, know that studies have shown that different ethnic groups have different hair structure, potentially leading to false-positives.

Answer 7

If I remember correctly extacy only stays in your system for like 2 days

Answer 8

No, there is no chance they will find it in your hair.

Hair analysis is most useful for spotting people who consume gross amounts of a tested-for substance (think: smokables) for an extended period of time. It has no chance of distinguishing the residue of a single, months-old ingestion from any number of compounds likely to be innocently in your system. It really has no chance of even detecting it in the first place.

There are special shampoos available that are quite effective in defeating hair testing, but you don't need to waste the money.

Oh, and ignore the preachers, as seen above, and below. One tab of Ecstasy four months ago and you "need help", Geez. Must be a rehab flack or sanctimonious cop.

Answer 9

It's possible it will show up, if the hair chosen was in place when you took the X.  It's a c**p shoot.  But then that's part of living life on the edge.

Answer 10

If that was the only time you have taken it, then its not likely. However, I think its too bad that you feel you have to do such things to experience life. It would be Justice if it does come back positive, because you need help.
