The Invisible Legacy Left In Homes Used As Meth Labs

A People magazine article published in 2005 described the hazards awaiting subsequent owners/occupants of homes once used as labs to manufacture methamphetamine. The article tells the story of three families and their experiences with contaminated homes that they unwittingly purchased and moved into. The cost to the families' health and finances, and in one case, the stress that may have led to a failed marriage, are described in some detail.
