I’ve heard that remediation/cleaning up contamination of a former meth house is extremely difficult/expensive. I never dug too much into the details though.
The health effects from meth lab exposure is gnarly. Explains why they wear those masks in Breaking Bad
> Exposure to meth residues may cause symptoms similar to those experienced by meth users. Exposure to VOCs may cause symptoms such as nose and throat irritation, headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion and breathing difficulties. Some VOCs may cause cancer.
> Acids or bases will cause a burning sensation on the skin and in mucous membranes, and can cause severe eye damage. Exposure to metals and salts can cause a wide range of health effects including respiratory irritation, decreased mental function, anemia, kidney damage and birth defects. Metals such as lead and mercury are particularly hazardous.
Hey OP, if you’re for real, seriously call the DEA, call Maryland Dept of the Environment (MDE will probably be slow but eventually they’ll get something done). And get out of that house.
This isn’t about narcing on your neighbor or perpetuating the war on drugs. This is about a very serious health and safety concern for you, your family, your other neighbors, visitors, your mailman, passers by, etc. Not to mention your mother, may she rest in peace.

I was friends with a couple that unknowingly moved into a former meth house. It made them super sick and she miscarried pretty quickly after moving in. When they found out what it was, it was cheaper to demolish the house and start over.
