You could start having respiratory problems most definitely. If it is still toxic enough, you could have certain brain cells ate up causing imbalances, but that's not very likely. You really need to remove the carpeting, replace the walls if possible, or if there were any curtains there or furniture that was there before you moved in definitely get rid of them. When we make a meth lab bust, these things are required to be done by the landlord before anyone moves in. I hope this helps you.

3-5 days, maximum...But let me tell you something, do a search for:  Faces Of Meth on the net.  They are no joke.  Sure you might piss clean after a few days.  But if you keep screwing around with meth, not only will you not care about any more urine screens but it won't even matter because the meth will show up VISUALLY all over your face and body.  I've seen it on everybody that I know that uses the junk...it's because the ingrediants are so toxic that not only does it poison your brain, but it totally breaks down your body.  Hopefully you will stop using that sh*t, if not then I, along with most other people, won't even respect you enough to answer your questions seriously anymore.  Meth addicts are a total waste of space.  Do your brain, body, and face a favor and quit that shit.

SHORT AND LONG TERM EFFECTS\n \n\nShort Term and Long Term Effects\n\nPhysical Symptoms:\n\nSevere weight loss - sometimes up to 50 - 100 pounds. \n\nRotting teeth - teeth may first turn gray, then black; gum disease brought on by constriction of the gums' blood vessels can cause loss of teeth. \n\nBody odor - user loses interest in personal hygiene. The chemicals used to manufacture meth are excreted through the perspiration and emit a bad smell. \n\nScars and open sores - hallucinations cause the user to scratch or gouge at imaginary "bugs." The body also releases histamines which causes itching. \n\nInability to sleep for hours or days, followed by severe agitation and a sedated crash lasting many hours or for days. \n\nPsychological/Behavioral Symptoms: \n\nDue to the drug's ability to overwhelm and over-stimulate the users' nervous system, chronic meth users may experience any or all of the following:\n\nInitial euphoria - a feeling of great happiness or well-being; bliss. \n\nDepression - feelings of sadness, dejection. \n\nDelusion - a false belief held as a result of self-deception mental disorder. \n\nPsychosis - a severe mental disorder, with or without organic damage, characterized by deterioration of normal intellectual and social functioning and by withdrawal from reality. \n\nParanoia - a chronic psychosis characterized by delusions of persecution or of grandeur. \n\nViolence - physical force exerted to violate, damage, or abuse

Any stressor can make fibromyalgia pain worse, so yes - dampness and those terrible floors are going to cause problems for you!\n\nFibromyalgia is a neurological disorder of hypersensitivity. We perceive EVERYTHING more strongly than we should, on every level. So the tiniest things build up to be big deals, and big things can become crushing problems.\n\nI was diagnosed in 1993, and my little girl (now 16) was diagnosed in 1999. What I've found most effective is to take control of absolutely everything I can in our environment, in order to let our bodies build up better reserves to deal with the stressors we can't control.\n\nOf course, "environment" means everything from the air we breathe to the people we interact with. The place to start is at home, and you've already realized that the floors in your home are part of the problem!\n\nIs there any chance of moving? You've been there for a year, so maybe your lease is up or about to renew?\n\nIf not, perhaps you could put down carpets with lots of padding? That's going to increase your allergy load if you have allergy problems, but you have to weigh which gives you more trouble and make a decision based on that. \n\nIf you can't afford to professionally recarpet the place, don't worry - join your local Freecycle list(s) (see http://freecycle.org/ . I see people giving away gently used carpet and rugs all the time! If you're not too picky about making the whole apartment match, you can at least improve the impact of the floors on your body.\n\nI could (and have, elsewhere) go on and on and on about environmental control, but I don't want to bore you :-) I really hope that you're able to get some relief. Let me know how you're doing!

I lived in a house once that had strange things happen.Things like hearing family members voices knowing i was the only one there, very very strange dreams, I used to see grey see thru bats that would swarm in the corner of my bedroom. I had freinds tell of see red eyes comming from the attic vent. The house just felt generally wierd as well. Later come to find out that the house was once stable in which two adults and one young girl around 5 or 6 yrs old lived there awhile back. The parents apparently got angry at the little girl and hit over the head with a spade and killed her

I think it can cause a positive reaction to methamphetamine (aka crystal meth, ice), and the drug test they may be using might test for that drug along with cocaine. I would ask the company that does the testing exactly what drugs were tested for the one that brought you up as positive. Are you a member of a union? It's time to seek legal guidance. If you can't afford a lawyer, then go to the free legal services in your city or town.

Are you kidding me?!  Listen, what someone does to themselves in their own bedroom, living room whatever is truly up to them but when it becomes an issue of destroying others (selling drugs destroys others) then you the RIGHT ACTION is to get involved and be a part of the solution.  Recently in our community a meth-user (who bought their drug from some selller...) was doped out and fell asleep while smoking a cigarette, you can already picture the ending...well probably not - the cigarette fell out of her hand and on to the baby's blanket that was sleeping next to her.  This little one has died, ironically she lives and so does her drug dealer.  Amazing, imagine if the drug dealer or perhaps someone in the user's family got involved and cared enough for the little baby.....

meth does have an oder but it's not someting you would smell and automatically know what it was if you weren't looking for it. my mom used to be able to walk in my room and into a cloud of smoke and not know what it was. i am now an addict in recovery however and i could smell it a mile away and be able to pinpoint it immediatly. look for foil, lightbulbs, or glass tubes around the scene and you'll know whats up.

Drug abuse is horrible.  Complications are weight loss, if using a needle there could be damage to arteries,  damage can be done to all your inside organs, such as heart, lungs, liver, etc.  Family of the abuser can also have complications to their health from stress.  Some people die, others could have a stroke.  My son had a lot of complications but luckily he is alive and in a half way house.  He just went threw 70 days of detox and maintenance.\nMemory loss and dysfunctional thoughts can occur.  Depression and anxiety also.

Depends how contaminated, contaminated w/ what and how much soil. \n\nMost counties have ag agents so start there and ask. Also soil testing is common for house building so call a local realtor or developer if you can't find one in the phone book.

more and likely yes...when you are pregnant and continue to use heavy drugs can cause alot of those symptoms..And if you use heavy drugs around a young infant who's insides haven't developed it's in the air...That alone causes alot of problems...Sounds like her mother was a heavy user and she received no attention at home which can cause A.D.D and A.D.H.D..She probably would benefit most if you can find her a good councilor..good luck

Probably none. You don't get diseases from houses, only from the people inside them, and you could get anything contagious from them. In a really nasty house, you have to worry about rotting dead things, mold, carbon monoxide and pollutants such as lead and asbestos. But pure raunchy messiness is not in itself harmful.
