Living in a home that was formerly contaminated by meth has the potential to be extremely dangerous to one’s health, The Bio Clean Team website warns.

“Methamphetamine is a crystal substance that when heated vaporizes, that’s how people ingest it,” the website says. “That vapor goes off and into surfaces and as it cools, it recrystallizes. This trace amount increases over time and in the case of homes that used to be meth labs, can leave incredibly unhealthy levels of the chemicals in the walls, ceilings, carpets – you name it. When meth is ‘cooked’ in a home these toxins spread everywhere.”

  • Babies not able to gain weight

  • Migraines

  • Skin burns

  • Breathing issues
