I am fear for your children, considering what you’ve told me. The first thing that I would do is stop letting your ex take your children without being supervised! I would talk to the police and your sons’ doctor about your suspicions about your ex using meth. Ask for their advice about what you can do to protect your children.

If your ex is using meth, he may be making meth too. Many meth addicts are now making their own meth, because it’s easy and cheap to do and they can make money off of selling it to others. But, whether he is using or making meth, your childrens’ health and safety are in danger, when they are with him.

I saw a quote by a narcotics cop once that said “there’s a reason why you don’t find any old meth users…they’re all dead”. Meth takes a heavy toll on the body.

I don’t know the answer to that. That’s a great question.

Every thing I have researched on this stuff I find it hard to believe the users are still alive after using this stuff.

If you moved into a former meth house.Would you test positive for meth if you had a urine test?

Lynn,

First of all, I hope that the health problems that you and your husband are having are not too serious. Pets, like people, are also effected by the toxic chemicals in and near a home that’s being used to make meth. One family, that I spoke to from TX, realized they might be living in a former meth lab, when their dog began having seizures after they moved in to a new home.

Meth labs in apartment buildings can cause those living in the apartments adjacent to them to have health issues. While their neighbor is making meth, the fumes from the cooking process can easily travel to neighboring apartments.

Each state has its own list of people that are qualified to do meth lab testing. Beware of hiring just anyone who “says” that they do testing. You need someone certified to do the testing, in order to get an accurate test done in your home, that will provide you with a list that will include many of the chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamine, in addition to meth. Which state are you in?

I have been living two doors away from a meth lab. We have finally contacted the right people to take care of this. How do I get my house tested and by who. I have a lot of the syptoms mentioned above and so does my husband. This is a nightmare and by far the most stressed out I have ever been. What about pets?

There is a chance of meth exposure, her actually having adhd or your doctor is mis-diagnosing. I personally have a problem with doctors and their over diagnosis of physical/mental ailments to the young children of our society. Recently my nieces grandmother wanted to put her on drugs (she is 7) because the doctors say she has adhd after her teachers suggested for a check on the disorder. The girl sucks down more freaking sugar than anyone I know, mostly thanks to the grandmother who wants to drug her up at the ripe age of 7. Welcome to America.

First off Linda I would say that there is only three things you can do to find out. First, contact the neighbors; they’ll know for sure. Second, check out the local police station for info or even local websites that possibly list houses that were used for meth production. Last, hire someone to test your place.

Your story has reinforced that I made the right decision to pull out of the contract that I was just about to put on a pre-existing meth lab. The owner cleaned everything and put in new floors, paint and all the cosmetics. The truth is that nobody knows what chronic exposure to even the most minute traces of the chemicals that meth cooking releases will do to a person.

Good luck and I’d get out of that place if I were you.
