Are You Living In a Former Meth House?

Our partners at Fox2 have compiled a list to help you protect yourself.

Did you just buy a home, or are you renting in the St. Louis or Jefferson County area?

You could be living in an old meth house. Our partners at Fox2 have compiled an online database and a map to help you protect yourself. Officials say invisible toxins from meth-making threaten people long after the drug bust.

Police say every crevasse of a home contains the toxins related to meth, including the curtains, walls and air registers. They added that there is no standard practice for cleaning old meth houses.
