The testing occurred after a recent spike in people smoking meth in the library's bathrooms over the past four weeks.
In two separate incidents, city employees were evaluated — and eventually cleared — of health concerns after "experiencing symptoms consistent with a potential exposure to meth residue or fumes," according to a statement from the city.
I’m not proud of the fact that I know this (I had a troubled youth), but unless someone is directly blowing it right into your face, second-hand meth smoke is not really a thing. It looks like a vape cloud and dissipates extremely quickly, and honestly unless some tweaker left a lightbulb with burn marks on it around you probably wouldn’t know anybody smoked meth in the vicinity from the smell. I think we have a case of histrionic librarians here.
