Meth smell is something not easily hidden

Meth labs emit noxious and extremely strong odors that are hard to cover up.

A meth lab can have a strong uncommonly sweet smell; not like a perfume, but something more like a lightly scented cleaning chemical. There is a point int he process where it may smell like a gas leak or rotten eggs. Some of the odors related to a meth lab have been described as smelling like:

Usually living next to or near by a meth lab you would probably smell these things repeatedly. Sometimes meth cooks will cover the windows with tin foil to keep the scent from escaping and others from seeing in. Spotting a meth lab can be tough, but the smell is generally a tell-tale sign.

The ingredients used in making meth are extremely toxic and flammable. If you are concerned about the possibility that there may be a meth lab near you; it’s no joke – Call the fire department or police and have them investigate.

      This is no joke. I am a MP and today, when investigating an unrelated crime, I happened to stumble across a methlab, although it was in a duplex and the smell was more than apparent to me, the neighbors had not noticed it. When the individual who owned the residence where the meth lab was, opened their front door, the odor was intoxicatingly noticeable. I entered the quarters for approximately 20 minutes to assess the quarters for the safety of the children before realizing its contents. I then left the quarters, had difficulty breathing, was dizzy and naseuas for approximately 2 hours. Treated by EMS. This is a smell I cant explain and will never forget.
