The situation doesn't sound good. You could also report it to the police. If you're in high school, you could report the situation to your guidance counselor, a police officer at your school if you have one, and the school principal. That situation should be investigated by the police and child protective services, as soon as possible! If that little boy is living in a home where meth is being made, he is in serious danger. : ( Cede,

In fact, some homes are so contaminated by methlabs that the cheapest way out is to demolish them and rebuild. That property has too many red flags for me.

When we went into the first apt. the first thing I notice was a strong chemical smell, I thought maybe they replaced carpet or flooring or something. We go in to the apt, the kitchen is smaller than my 5 by 8 bathroom!! there was a flimsy exhaust vet hanging down from the ceiling the girl there in the apt said was for a dryer??? the bedrooms were just strewn with clothes!! discusting and this place freaked me out! there was a 6 mo old baby in a carrier and the mother sat on a couch with no legs. there was 24 hours notice we were coming!!!! These people live in discusting conditions woiith this baby! I did not get a wink of sleep because I am thinking meth is made here. the upstairs apt smelled of cat pee and the restaurand had the smell of gas fumes which she says is not gas and that it was even checked by the gas company. what do you think? oh and the owner of the building called the realator the next day to see if we were interested. When she said no because the place needed to much work, the guys says" I will reduce the price 40k for repairs!!!!

An ammonia smell is commonly associated with meth labs. Becoming dizzy from breathing in the toxic chemicals used to make meth is also common. Tweakers are a nickname for hardcore meth addicts. I hope you're staying in your own RV. Lastly, I think dogs are a good judge of character. Meth labs explode without warning and heavy meth users are unpredictable and they are often violent. Don't let your dog wander about the property, for his own protection. Staying indoors, away from the chemical smells, is also better for your health and your husband's. Be very careful. Notify the police to investigate the situation. Personally, I'd find another park to stay in, asap. Stay safe! Nancy,

He is working and I am home and have a few concerns about our neighbors. This is our 3rd year at the same park, so we have become friends with a few people who live here. I was told our neighbors are tweakers....which I think mean people who use drugs.....they never eat anything here but smoke a lot and stay inside for at least 2 days and never come outside....all their windows are covered with towels and there was a smell yesterday. They have a few people come by who go inside and don't stay long. A couple of nights ago we were BBQ ing and I had my little wiener dog on my lap and the old lady was walking across the park towards her trailer and my dog was growling like I have never heard and showing his teeth. She stuck her hand by him and he almost bit her. Now he growls every time they leave in their car or come home. Behind us are homes and a chain fence. On the property right behind us there are 2camper shells and 1long trailer behind the house. The long trailer has a tarp over the entire half and just now I got a big smell of ammonia coming in my window...I actually got dizzy....is that a sign of drugs ? Under the trailer next to me there was some dark liquid dripping from somewhere....the lady came out and was dumping something on it and squirting off area under her trailer....now there is a bucket there. I don't know if she had bleach but when I smelled the big whiff of ammonia it wasn't same time she was doing that....I want to feel comfortable going out and sitting in my chair but I don't....

He could be growing pot. He could also be making meth. Grow labs, as marijuana labs are often referred to, typically use artificial lighting (grow light bulbs) to provide the plants with the light they need to grow. Dirt on the floor of the garage could be associated with growing pot or he may have put it there to absorb spilled meth lab chemicals. However, when someone is high on meth, they can do things that only make sense to them. Days and nights without sleep can make a sane person do crazy things. Additionally, meth cooks and marijuana growers sometimes use fans to help circulate the air or remove fumes. Despite all of the press about shake-and-bake meth labs, not all methamphetamine is made in plastic bottles. Older methods of making meth, that are still being done in many parts of the country, require a heat source and produce more fumes than one-pot labs. Portable electric stove burners that have 1 or 2 burners are sometimes used by meth cooks to give them access to a heat source in a basement, garage, attic, shed, etc. Baby monitors, outdoor cameras, leaving a blind slat open, etc., are common among meth-makers, who become paranoid that someone (cops or others) are coming to get them. Staying up all night is common for meth addicts. Meth keeps them from being tired and they may stay awake around the clock for several days, before they finally crash and sleep for a few days. Do you smell anything coming from his house? If I were you, I'd ask the police to investigate the situation, before someone gets hurt. Don't try confront your neighbor or ask him what he's doing. In fact, you should stay far away from his house. Stay safe! Hi Amy

He had a baby monitor outside of his garage. he posted a label on his electic box saying "Medical emergency life saving equipment being used" . He's just weird.. But you never see anyone going to his house he"s always leaving to go places.. Do meth labs use a lot of electric? or if he could be growing pot? I cant tell.. He's up all night..

A well known study conducted in Thorton, Colorado by Dr. John Martyny (Associate Professor at the National Jewish Medical and Research Center ), Shawn Arbuckle ( Industial Hygiene Program Coordinator at the National Jewish Medical and Research Center), Dr. Charles McCammon, Jr (Senior Industrial Hygienist at the Tri County Health Department), and Nicola Erb (Epidemiologist at the National Jewish Medical and Research Center) showed that, in fact, smoking methamphetamine does cause contamination. The more frequently it is smoked within a structure, the more contaminated it becomes. Additionally the study reports that "it is likely that children present within that structure will be exposed to airborne methamphetamine during the smoke and to surface methamphetamine after the smoke".

Meth that is exhaled by smoking does NOT contaminate a space. The chemicals used to manufacture it can if they are spilled or absorbed into couch`s, or left open constantly. Meth in it`s cooked form is much less toxic than the raw chemicals used to make it. I really wonder about the overboard scare tactics on this site. Of course meth is horrible, but simply smoked, can only harm the smoker really. There is NO way it cost 170,000$`s to clean up a room or two where people had been simply smoking meth. That is impossible. There are plenty of toxic chemicals and residues already existing in the buildings of schools. That is ridiculous. Meth that is exhaled by smoking does NOT contaminate a space.
