What Causes Swelling And Red Rashes On Arm After Injecting Methamphetamine?

I injected a shot of meth about 8 hours ago. The shot was fine. Within 15 minutes both my arms are completely swollen, red, covered in a rash, bruised and feels like bubbles moving around under my skin all over. It is quite painful. All my veins have become extremely visible. Not sure what is is?

This is due to hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis reaction to the injection. Which requires urgent treatment. And u make a note of which injection caused that reaction. So The which will happen in future.
