The state of Tennessee has done an excellent job at quarantining and shutting down meth labs. Not only do they care about shutting the labs down, but they are acutely aware of the aftermath that these labs cause to people who move back into these houses. They take it a step further and certify contractors and hygenist in the state to remediate these labs. Kudos to Tennessee. Only 13 states have some form of regulations on the books. The state of Florida needs to get on the ball and protect the citizens from exposure to these dangerous toxins. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to look at these tweekers and see what meth usage does to the human body. Their faces are caved in, their eyes are sunken, their skin has sores all over, they hallucinate, they are extremely paranoid and disgusting looking.
The last meth lab my company decontaminated had wires from the rooftop into the second floor of the house that were hooked up to television monitors so they could see the police before they got to the door. Needless to say the search warrant was served and the house was turned over. As a former narcotics officer I am always aware of the presence of booby traps and other dangerous time bombs that the tweekers leave behind. The decon business is very dangerous and should be treated as such.
Contact your local state representative and light a fire under their ass. There is no good reason why these contaminated properties should linger in our neighborhoods.
