Caution about new abode
Buy A Meth House Unawares And Pay The Health Consequences
JULY 01, 2015
http://www.npr.org/sections/health-s...h-consequences
Jennifer Nugent and her three kids are throwing a big, blue ball around in the small living room of their rental home.
The kids are happy, but Nugent isn't. She planned to raise them in a place with much more room to play.
And she was. That is, until she learned that home was uninhabitable.
Two years ago, she and her husband bought a country home in the small central Indiana town of Mooresville.
"It was blue and it had a lot of potential for us to add on," she says. "We really, really wanted that house."
But shortly after the Nugent family moved in, their dream home became a nightmare.
The kids were constantly sick and struggling to sleep. The Nugents puzzled over their children's health problems until a neighbor mentioned that the previous homeowner (meth addict ?) referred to the bathroom as his "smoke shop."
gsgs comment-
Have the apartment, house condo, etc tested for meth contamination.
Dishonest people let innocents move into contaminated living spaces.
Contemplating the thought that newly painted surfaces may cover it up, temporarily.
Maybe the wood work or trim would keep traces?
I dunno, but I am sure a professional tester/ cleaner would know.
Hope that this is useful to you.
(This issue never entered my consciousness when I was house hunting. Just plain lucky that I was not saddled with a problem that was this horrible.)
