Babies are especially vulnerable. They live in a world where they crawl on all fours and everything is sampled by tasting. It takes only small amounts of meth to affect a baby. A baby crawling on the floor could actually get high.
The vapor clings to surfaces and reforms into crystals. People who come in contact with these surfaces can ingest the meth through their skin or by mouth, nose or eyes.
Your pets can be dramatically effected too! They can suffer from hallucinations, obsessive grooming and blindness along with other alarming symptoms.

Could There Have Been A Meth Lab In Your Home?
Shocking to say the least, when you discover the dream house you want to buy or possibly already purchased had a meth lab in it and or the drug was smoked. You can't see the residue. It's basically invisible. Meth labs can be anywhere. People have been caught cooking meth in urban settings, and upper-income homes. There is a wide variety of places where meth labs have been established. It is most certainly a growing problem in the United States and the need for testing and cleaning homes affected by meth use or production is at an all time high. Don't allow yourself or your family to fall victim of the harmful effects caused by living in a home with methamphetomine residue.
Before You Or Your Family Get Sick
There are ways to test for this possibility and better yet ways to clean up this major health hazard. Hazmat Cleanup LLC can test your home to detect the presence of methamphetomine. Chemicals that are often tested positive in a meth home are: Red phosphorous, ephedrine, hydrochloric or muriatic acid, and sodium hydroxide. If found, it can be thoroughly cleaned and all presence of chemicals eliminated. Even if it was just smoked in your home, office or car and not produced - the dangers are huge!
Symptoms
People who are exposed to meth pollution report speediness, loss of appetite, spaciness, inability to concentrate, itchy skin, dry eyes, irritability, paranoia, colds, breathing difficulty, anxiety, acne and confusion. In more extreme cases convulsions and death of pets.
People often report: My kids are always sick and are not doing well in school, I'm always sick and our dog died.
