What Does Brownish Goo On Her Pillow Of A Drug Addict Case Imply ?

Hi, my daughter died at age 25 from drug abuse, especially meth. I remember finding a brownish goo on her pillow case when she was a senior in high school. She also had a bad smell--like old onion. I'm wondering if you can tell me what that brownish stuff was? Thanks

Hi,

I am sorry to hear of your daughter's death from from drug abuse. People who are using meth often have a foul smell emanating from their body. They also excrete the metabolites of meth in sweat and saliva. So I guess what you noticed was due to meth use only. Other drugs are not associated with this phenomenon.

Best wishes.
