I fear my neighbors are smoking meth in their condo which leaks into my home
I have a huge dilemma. I need advise, please. This is what I smell outside my neighbors house, and inside my house? I smell FRSSH PAINT... always on the outside of their home. Then at certain regular times of the day and evening and ALL WEEKEND, my house has an odor of sick medicinal sweet sick vanilla tobacco cover up is the first incoming odor to let you know what is about to hit you. It is also seems to be the last thin g you smell unless you go outside then you smell the difference of the freshness outside and the pollutant inside it always hits me as very overwhelming. Immediately after the vanilla tobacco smell then there is a blast of burrning rubber or very strong verathane and this very burnt rubber sick sweet odor all at once. I get a burning feeling my nose, my eyes, I get dizzy and nausious. My daughter smells it usually as does my son my husband claims to not smell anything except the outside paint odor and he says he regularly smells it in front of their house. The security guard practically got knocked over from the odor the first night we noticed it.
I have impaired lungs a low immunity system, often as low as 2's in the leukopenic levels, and I worry about those kids over there especially. But what if I am wrong? I do not want to start trouble. Or get into trouble for filing a potential false report? Would that happen? Is it really confidential reporting? What if they find out I am the one if I decide to do it? I just do not know how to deal with this... PLEASE advise.
I actually liked them not like I wanted to invite them to dinner but as neighbors they are the nicest we have. Too bad their house and ours touch and we have to smell this. We did not have this issue until they moved in at all!
Do I have anything to worry about? Is this doing harm to us? I am certain it is hurting the kids. If they want to do it to themselves and I know it definitely will hurt them and their lives and probably their kids if they keep it up. But that is their business, but if it is affecting my lungs or anything then I have to take some sort of action.
I am trying to be completely honest here as can I do the right thing. I am bothered by the odor and the way it makes me feel and I do not want to carry any need to be angry if it is cool and if it is not bringing harm to us or the kids. Actually it sort of also smells like kerosine gasoline or something that is very vile to me.
Do I call child protective services and report what I suspect? What advice can you give me? I do not want them to know it was me. They know we are concerned about the paint odor and all that and have become secretive with us since they have known that. When they first moved in they were more friendly now they really stay to themselves and keep their so called curtains "sheets" kerosine to the walls closed on the downstairs except to get out the sliding door.
I am a MMJ patient and know they partake in herbs also we've discussed it. They are not legal as far as California law stands. I am and am have downstairs reasons for needing it. I have Hep C and had T.B. and back surgery plus they want me to have neck surgery for deuterating disks in my spine. I do not want to do another surgery so I do the best I can on my meds and working at pace. I work for myself so I am home all day and have to deal with this odor all day. I am worried for my health and my families. My husband had a heart attack about 6 months ago. Health I go out side to get the mail or water the plants and come back in I get shocked that I can handel the odor it's medical like sort of but dirty not clean. Then at the same time like acetone or alcohol. I hate to be the kettle balling the pot black. This is very distressing for me to go through these feelings all the days.
Thanks in advance for listening.
