I’ve heard that remediation/cleaning up contamination of a former meth house is extremely difficult/expensive. I never dug too much into the details though.

The health effects from meth lab exposure is gnarly. Explains why they wear those masks in Breaking Bad

> Exposure to meth residues may cause symptoms similar to those experienced by meth users. Exposure to VOCs may cause symptoms such as nose and throat irritation, headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion and breathing difficulties. Some VOCs may cause cancer.

> Acids or bases will cause a burning sensation on the skin and in mucous membranes, and can cause severe eye damage. Exposure to metals and salts can cause a wide range of health effects including respiratory irritation, decreased mental function, anemia, kidney damage and birth defects. Metals such as lead and mercury are particularly hazardous.

Hey OP, if you’re for real, seriously call the DEA, call Maryland Dept of the Environment (MDE will probably be slow but eventually they’ll get something done). And get out of that house.

This isn’t about narcing on your neighbor or perpetuating the war on drugs. This is about a very serious health and safety concern for you, your family, your other neighbors, visitors, your mailman, passers by, etc. Not to mention your mother, may she rest in peace.

No I think it’s meth actually. Good try though!

Is there no way the public can put pressure on this or appeal it? Either the judge was bought and paid for or is scared to release the data for fear of retaliation

Has anyone suggested the possibility that they’re cooking meth? I haven’t seen it posted here 👀

I mean if it ain’t broke don’t fix it they seem to know what their doing just wish OP took his mothers claims seriously

which is a pretty big red flag on its own, especially this time of year. crazy how they've been possibly allegedly doing this for years but never had the common sense to look into diy ventilation systems lol.

Oh definitely but not as much as everyone thinks cause if that was true there wouldn’t be a lot of meth. At least they have the windows open 24/7

OP, you need to notify DEA or local drug enforcement before posting anything public about the location. Your neighbors might be on here as well and if they know the area is hot then they’ll clean up for a few weeks/months before resuming production again

Meth labs really do blow up sometimes.

Report the circumstances to the Maryland Department of the Environment.

All of us are disappointed, except the priests I guess

They really don’t the chemicals are killing him and killed his mother

Not sure about the exact timeline of OPs actions and whether he went to the hospital and got a VOC detecter after his mom died.

I don't think OP said they didn't believe her, they said the hospital didn't believe them, and that they had told their mother the smell of cooking food shouldn't burn your throat.

As in, meth labs often go kablooey in a big way dangerous.

Yeah seriously.

Can you just give us all here in Baltimore a heads up as to WHERE!!?!!!! Obviously we don’t need an exact address just give us a neighborhood vicinity.

🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I was just commenting because I wasn't sure is methamphetamine are called scramble

Which neighborhood is this?

Just thinking of the song is all. Should have used an ellipsis I suppose.
