For God's Sake! Don't Take Your Kids to a Hotel!

This is pure baloney.

[Foreword: Apparently hotel management would rather keep their
ignorant guests in the dark by just "sweeping" this dirty little drug
lab secret under the rug. After all, today's drug labs produce
virtually no odors; most guests will not complain about dreadful air
quality; and most guests are only overnighters anyway, so, if they get
sick, they will just bounce back a few hours after check-out and be
none the wiser. And surely hotel management wants to avoid
unpleasantries like D.E.A. agents kicking in the doors of their guests
in the middle of the night or like [gasp, heavens, no!] their
building's acquiring a reputation of being a "sick building."]

HOTELS ARE DRUG LAB INFESTED!!

In recent months, I have had three back-to-back hotel stays at three
different hotels, and all three bedeviled me with toxic fumes from
illicit drug lab activity. Do not think for one minute that upscale
hotels are exempt from this problem!

BE ADVISED: illicit drug lab chemists are using chemical ingredients
and methods that produce virtually no smells and very little chemical
taste. In fact, some people can't even taste the chemistry in the air.
I can! In any case, drug lab toxins can make you very, very sick.

You may be wondering how I know about such things. Well, I lived for
almost three and one-half years in an apartment as a neighbor to, not
one, but two illicit drug labs in the building, and, for that time
period, I didn't have a clue as to what was going on around me even
though I was suffering a whole host of physical maladies that were not
characteristic of me. Then, pretty much by quirk of fate (and sloppy
behavior on the part of the perpetrators), I caught on quick. I
eventually moved out and ended up in yet another apartment which was
plagued by intolerable drug lab fumes. The government was worthless in
addressing these crimes.

My advice to airline crews on layovers (and to all travelers, for that
matter) is, "STAY OUT OF HOTELS," for you make wake up dead one day -
NO KIDDING!

I was in one hotel long enough to suspect that there were a minimum of
SIX drug lab chemists operating there, and, let me tell you, there
were some really funny things going on there, particularly at night. I
do believe that the dead bodies of guests who had succumbed to toxic
fumes were spirited away from that building.

STAY OUT OF HOTELS! Things may be fine at first, but you never know
who checks into the next room after you have gone to sleep. Worse yet,
an illicit drug chemist may be in the room right above you, and he may
be so stoned that he spills his nasty, nasty chemicals on the floor.
From there the chemicals may leak through your ceiling and rain down
on your face in your sleep. Just such a thing came close to happening
to me in my apartment and in the first of the three hotel rooms where
I stayed!

_USA Today_ recently (cover story of 7/30/2003) made mention of the
problem in hotel rooms in a bigger article on methamphetamine labs.
They said that children have crawled on the carpets of hotel rooms
which have previously hosted drug labs, and those children have gotten
chemical burns! The report goes on to say that toxic fumes from
illicit drug labs cause learning disabilities in children as well as
fatal burns to lungs and damage to livers and spleens.

One troubling aspect of the _USA Today_ report was the low numbers of
drug lab busts in eastern U.S. jurisdictions. Don't be fooled by these
low numbers. There is an infestation of illicit drug labs in eastern
jurisdictions. Years ago, it was reported that at any one time there
are over 1,000 drug labs in New York City alone (there must be several
thousand now), yet, for the whole state of New York, there were only
14 drug lab busts in year 2002!

My first night at the second hotel was OK, but the second night was
very different. In bed, I had neurological sensations like electrical
shocks all over my body. I had muscle spasms all over, too, and every
time I tried to fall asleep, an arm would jerk, or a leg would jerk,
or a hand would jerk. These are symptoms of pesticide poisoning.
Illicit drug lab chemists use pesticides in their dirty work.
Moreover, during that second night, my cat vomited three times, and
then a fourth time right after I arose. Shortly thereafter, he rapidly
developed a nasty skin lesion on the border of his nose, and he then
became deathly ill. Just before my last night there, I myself became
deathly ill, and I didn't think that I was going to make it out of
there.

Illicit drug labs create the risk of explosion and fire. Do you want
the room above, below or right next to you to explode when you least
expect it? And hotel fires can be really, really nasty things as
evidenced by televised accounts of such events. You don't want you,
yourself, and your children to be caught in a fire especially in an
older, taller hotel.

By all accounts in the news, the methamphetamine problem is growing by
leaps and bounds, and the U.S. is very rapidly becoming like Thailand
where everything everywhere is being touched by the contamination of
Thailand's monumental methamphetamine addiction problem.

Two area public libraries where I now reside have been contaminated by
drug lab activity and/or the dumping of toxic waste from drug labs.

BTW, the toxic waste of drug labs corrodes drain pipes leaving behind
leaks large and small. Then, water starts to leak out creating an
environment of moisture in which mold and mildew will thrive. The
toxins from mold and mildew can be as bad, if not worse than drug lab
toxins. Keep this in mind when buying your next house for it may have
to be torn apart to correct aforementioned problems.

So, don't buy a house; don't live in a multiple dwelling; and, for
God's sake, don't bring your kids to a hotel!
