Common Questions About Cleaning Up After Drug Use in Marietta-Alderwood

What about drug use in a vehicle?

Vehicles can hold syringes, residue and odor in seats, carpets and vents. Ask whether the team cleans vehicles and how soft materials are treated. Crews use the same protective gear and sealed containers as in a building.

Is this medical or legal advice?

No. This page explains how drug paraphernalia cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for legal questions, ask an attorney.

Can residue come through skin?

Some residues can harm people who touch them, and you cannot tell by looking which ones. That is why gloves are not a substitute for professional cleanup. If skin touches something unknown, wash with soap and water and call Poison Control.

What if someone is stuck by a needle?

Wash the area with soap and water and get medical care right away. Call 911 in an emergency. Poison Control can answer exposure questions. Tell the doctor what happened and where the needle was found, if you know.

Is drug paraphernalia a biohazard?

It can be. Used syringes and other sharps can carry bloodborne germs, and residue can harm people who touch or swallow it. A cleanup team can look at what is there and explain how it should be handled. Do not touch it until then.

What if children or pets live in the home?

Keep them out of affected rooms until a cleanup team has finished. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. If a child or pet touches or swallows something, call Poison Control or a veterinarian.
