Apartment Dwellers. Question on Toxic smell
So the smell I posted about a few months ago is gone. The neighbors apologized and it was solved peacefully. They were smoking pot.
Now a new problem. A strong chemically smell has been happening almost every night for the past month. It's impossible to breath and I've narrowed the smell down to three possible apartments. Two of them have curtains blocking their windows out the front one of the guys seemed paranoid when I was waiting for someone to pick me up today.
From what I've read on meth labs, I think there might be one next door. I'm getting a sore throat and eyes are bothering me. I'm thinking of calling the police on this on. If it is meth, are there any health things on my end I need to take care of?
Does anyone agree with my theory it's a lab?
hope it isn't meth chemicals
The guy is probably just a low level weed dealer or something. You absolutely sure that the pot smoking neighbors aren't just trying to mask the pot smell with lots of cheap incense or aerosol fragrances? I would highly advise against calling the police unless you absolutely think that they are cooking meth or whatever. Police will only ruin peoples lives with fines, probation, jail, wipe out finances of families, etc. I had an apartment neighbor that also heavily smoked pot and I did same thing and said hey, you smoking too much pot and you may wanna light some incense or whatever. I however did not really care because i smoked pot before and i just didn't want my neighbor to get caught up. Well the neighbor was burning the very cheaply made incense sticks constantly. It smelled like a krishna temple next door, ha ha.
I just simply said dude, use better incense with non toxic ingredients and we will all be better off. He did and it worked.
I do think you may be right about it being meth with strong chemical odors that burn your eyes. Chemical Smells
A telltale sign of a meth lab is a powerful chemical smell.
The odor of an active meth lab may smell like:
Paint thinner or vanish smell
Ether or a "hospital smell"
Sour or vinegary smell
Ammonia-like smell (like the smell of window cleaner, fertilizers or even cat urine)
If you think there is a meth lab there, then walk to the apartment leasing office and have them handle it. If it is a meth lab and you call the police and the tenants that you called and complained about find out if was you that ratted out their meth operation and caused them to get felonies, lose lots of cash and drugs, and go to jail, then the may want to harm you. Just tell the leasing agent what is up and let them handle it. meth has ruined the world, so I feel you if it is meth.
Good luck, and remember, don't be a snitch to the police unless your life is in danger. That is really all the police are good for. Besides that they are basically state sanctioned tax agents that suck their citizens finances dry with tickets, speed trapping, red light cameras, etc. At least this is how I feel about the police in Texas. Dallas PD are cool, but the rest are scum sucking bottom feeders that attach themselves to your life like a parasite. Handle your problems on your own when you can safely and peacefully.
