06Infant's Death Related to Possible Meth Lab
Clandestine Labs are very common throughout the United States, illegal labs are more widespread in some states than in others but they can be found everywhere. Clandestine labs are also referred to as meth labs and can be found in various size operations from 'one pot methods' to very large 'super labs'. Methamphetamines are extremely powerful drugs that cause serious mental and physical health problems to those that use the drugs to get high.
Highly toxic chemicals are used in the production of crystal meth and anyone living close to a lab, or producing the product is at serious risk also. Unfortunately some people who illegally produce crystal meth do it in their homes and innocent children are being exposed to the toxic powders, chemicals, and vapors.
Children living at a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory are exposed to dangerous toxic vapors, fumes, chemical spills, and chemical debris floating through the air and many children have suffered serious burns and other health problems.
Sadly some people have lost their lives when using meth, cooking meth, or being exposed to the powerful toxic chemicals and many of them are innocent children.
The death of a child is almost too much to bear for anyone but when child or infant dies and it could have been avoided, there are no words to describe how senseless, horrific and sad this could be. Hopefully this innocent 8 month olds death wasn't directly related to a methamphetamine clandestine lab.
