Every day a child gets sick because they are living in a meth lab home and their parents don't know it. No one ever thought it was important enough to tell them. Warning others about a meth lab home before they buy or rent it is the right thing to do.

  Acids such as hydriotic acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid as well as bases such as liquid ammonia, and sodium hydroxide (Red Devil Lye, Drano) can all cause severe burns to the eyes, skin, lungs and gastrointestinal organs if contact occurs. Red phosphorus when mixed with other solvents or oxidants may produce a highly toxic gas. Exposure to the organic solvents that are used such as methanol, ethyl ether, benzene, acetone, chloroform and hexane can cause many problems including intoxication, hepatitis (liver inflammation), kidney failure, bone marrow suppression, seizures and death. Finally, iodine can be toxic in relatively small amounts causing severe gastrointestinal injury (if ingested) and pulmonary edema or fluid on the lungs (if inhaled). Ingestion of relatively small amounts of iodine (200 mg) has been fatal in children and chronic exposures may lead to thyroid disease. — Kathyrn Wells, MD, Medical Director, Denver Family Crisis Center
