Ok. Let’s tackle a big issue. Perhaps the biggest issue. So, in our line of work, we are in homes that have had a meth lab in it or in homes that has or have had meth users in it. The sad part of our work is that those homes that we go into and find meth in, we also often find children. Yep. Children. And Meth. Together. I remembered reading an article from November (2016) where a couple were injecting their children with heroin. Uh huh. Injecting their own children with heroin. Whilst that’s not something you see everyday. For us, in our line of work, we see children living in drug contaminated conditions and therefore exposed to drugs all the time. Meth is pervasive. It contaminates everything it touches. Every surface. It penetrates porous surfaces and ‘sticks’ to non-porous. It will remain in clothing, on carpets, on tables, chairs, couches, you name it, it’s on it. Children touching these surfaces then go onto eat food with meth on their hands, or, worse still, eat food that was directly exposed to meth vapour. The P contamination can take a long time to go through their system and the damage done could be irreparable.
