move as quick as possible. a meth explosion in a rowhome is really bad. and more than likely they are up while you sleep for work so it could happen then.

As soon as I figured out the neighbors are cooking meth the first thing I thought of was Russel Crowe knocking over that drug house for the duffel full of money in “The Next Three Days”….

🤔

Hey OP ummm… just curious where is this?

Investigators found 43 of the accused priests have not yet been publicly identified, though 30 of them have died. That leaves 13 living priests who have not been previously accused of sexual abuse. Williams told the courts that the attorney general’s office has redacted those 13 names from the report. The redactions are intended to avoid further legal arguments that could tie up the release of the report.

It's a bit different. Humans can contract toxo directly from contaminated soil or unwashed vegetables like e. coli, but when a meat animal is infected the parasite actually takes residence in its muscle tissue (where e coli only gets into meat via external contamination). Toxoplasmosis cysts are also very persistent in soil, remaining viable for over a year.

Also toxo's effect on the human body is longer and potentially more severe as the parasite lives on in your body and brain for the rest of your life with neurological consequences, and it's potentially fatal or disfiguring for fetuses if a mother is infected with toxoplasmosis while pregnant. Neurological consequences of toxoplasmosis infection aren't particularly well studied but may include mental illness and reduced motor response times. A study of vehicle accidents suggests that people with toxo in their brains are more likely to die in a car accident.

I'm a country girl from the Meth Belt. My money's on meth. Different steps of the manufacturing process have different smells. You can have samples taken from your home to have tested. I forget who to contact. I'll add more later.

Edit: Ok so if you Google meth residue test kit that's what you need. Also suggest cross posting over at r/homeimprovement and also agree with others saying to call the police or DEA tip line.

Check your water heater. Chlorine is in our water and if it's building up on the element, could be burning and creating the smell. Assuming it's malfunctioning or something. I'm not a plumber

Or your neighbors are cooking meth/crack.

Be a good citizen, make an emergency police or fire department call when oder is detected. If there is a "chemical leak" it poses a threat to the greater community, not just you.
