I will never move in to a home again without testing it first

Lori to Meth Lab Homes
MY HUSBAND IS LOOKING AT BEING PUT OUT OF THE MILITARY FOR TESTING POSITIVE TO METH. IF YOU NEW MY HUSBAND YOU WOULD NO THIS WAS CRAZY. WE SINCE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE HOME WE PURCHASED AND REMODELED WAS A METH LAB. I AM DISHEARTED AND ALMOST HOMELESS WITH FIVE CHILDREN AND A MILITARY SYSTEM THAT JUST SEES A POSITIVE RESULT. MY HUSBANDS LEVELS WHERE VERY LOW, BUT STILL THERE, MY CHILDREN ALL ARE HAVING BREATHING PROBLEMS AND STRANGE RASHES. WE HAVE MOVED AND THAT ALONE SEEMS TO BE HELPING THERE HEALTH PROBLEMS BUT LEAVES ME THINKING THAT THE STATE NEEDS TO DO MORE TO PROTECT US ALL. WE TESTED THE HOME AND SURE ENOUGH EVERY ROOM OF THE HOME WAS POSITIVE, EVEN AFTER REMODELING. I WILL NEVER MOVE INTO A HOME AGAIN WITH OUT TESTING IT FIRST…LESSON LEARNED THE HARD WAY.

What do you think?
Lori, the health problems your children are having are common with acute and chronic exposure to meth chemicals. Its imperative you have them checked out by a physician to make sure there are no long lasting problems. The rashes and breathing problems are very common when living in a house where cooking occurred. Years ago police departments did not understand the extreme nature of busting these labs and they went in without protective respirators. Now they are facing cancers and intense respiratory problems like you are describing. As a former narcotics detective I can attest to the severity of the meth problem. Please do your homework on any new residence and have it tested. The testing procedure is inexpensive and well worth the piece of mind.
