Amphetamine - What Is It?* Methylamphetamine is a drug that attacks the Central Nervous System

High Intensity Abuse IndicatorsWeight Loss
Methylamphetamine literally eats away at the body fat and muscles. High-intensity abusers often lose up to 50kg.
Central Pallor
Methylamphetamine raises blood pressure and increases pulse rate. This in turn, constricts the blood vessels at the skin's surface and leads to pale and gaunt complexion.
High Intensity Abuse IndicatorsBad Teeth - “Meth Mouth”
The abuser's teeth also suffer firstly turning grey and then black.
Degradation of the teeth can be from the drug use itself (Acidic gases produced from smoking amphetamine), poor hygiene, or from the use of inferior or substituted chemical ingredients used in the manufacturing process.
High Intensity Abuse IndicatorsScars/Open Sores on Exposed Skin
* The scars indicate that the abuser has experienced formication or "crank bugs." Formication is an advanced form of Methylamphetamine-induced hallucination during which the abuser feels bugs on/under his skin. The individual scratches at the "bugs," trying to remove them, but instead the abuser gouges the skin, leaving scars. Open sores indicate recent Methylamphetamine use.

Amphetamine - Clean Up* Methylamphetamine and its ingredients will remain in and upon all parts of these residences for years if appropriate cleaning is not undertaken
Amphetamine - Clean Up* Crime and Trauma Cleaning (CTC) is the only company that can guarantee the absolute removal of these substances
* CTC uses chemicals that break down the compounds that make up Methylamphetamine ensuring they become water soluble and can be removed
Amphetamine - Clean Up* At the completion of the work undertaken CTC tests all areas exposed in the production process to ensure the absolute removal of Methylamphetamine. Certification is then produced to this effect
Amphetamine - Clean Up* It is important that in all instances where owners of residences or real estates agencies become aware of residences occupying illicit drug laboratories that a company such as CTC is engaged to ensure the appropriate cleaning is undertaken before the premises are reoccupied.
Amphetamine - Clean Up* Make sure your Real Estate Agency isn’t in the News Headlines for the wrong reason!
* Be Clan Lab Aware during your rental inspections, and make sure Clan Lab Sites are properly cleaned before being reoccupied.
