Every morning at approximately 4:00-4:20 a.m. I smell what appears to be burnt oil, or plastic burning. Sometimes it smell sweet, other times it smell like chemical. Overall, I get a terrible headache. This odor is about to force me to move out of my house. I wake up with a terrible headache. I dread going to sleep because when I wake up that foul odor will be lingering in the air. What can I do about this problem?
every time i visit my close relative, the apartment next to her which belongs to a middle-aged couple smells like burnt plastic. i met them once, and the man was sitting on the deck smoking something that smelled horrible. his speech was slurred, and he seemed almost blind and deaf. he invited my relative inside, and of course, i stupidly went in after her. their apartment was in shambles. they had just moved here from tuscan. the woman had lumpy skin, and itched her hands a lot. it smelled SOOO horrible, and they had coolers and cigarettes everywhere. we got outta there fast. when we left, the man seemed drunk, and while we were inside, he had fallen down outside. what do i do?
Sara,
Thank you for commenting. Well God willing they are not producing Meth next door, because that can be extremely dangerous. If you really suspect something might be up I would suggest calling your local PD and letting them know what you suspect. There are non-emergency lines for such matters. They should be better able to direct you.
