?bacteria in cold humid/who to contact if drugs tampered with at all pharmacies?

Pls help.
1. In a cold turner humidifier with a long life self pumping paper wick,in the WATER,from it dispersing, even if I change it can one get bacterial infections from it? Meaning is there more risk than no humidifier, esp. if one mouth breathes exclusively?
2.A question with no applicable forum- no pharmacology forum. Ive been receving on over 4 separate occasions, with over 20 separate prescriptions, from about 6 separate pharmacies(Ive even tried going to ones far from home) including the one that is out of state that my insurance co uses for mail order prescriptions,TAMPERED with meds. These meds have stimulants added to them,some are placebo, and some have meds added to make RLS,some so cant sleep with csfleak HA. I know because I had some older meds and they work just fine.I was a drug rep who has some drug cos after me because , for one, they broke the false claims act in a way that is not yet known, per my research. Yet, the false claims act statute(that I didnt even know existed until last year) was up last year,6 mos before I contacted a lawyer about being a whistleblower. why they would still do it, is one boss sexually harassed me and also this would change the way antibiotic cos do business if it were known. And they started doing other things to me WAY before then and I questioned its ethics way before then.These meds I need to stay alive.Im being tortured med.-many way.I wrote the pharm.HQ/mrs-0.
1. Would you go to the FDA, as IM afraid they have contacts there and could get a dirty FDA "investigator?"
2.I know if I go to the police my evidence will be lost or made a false negative even more than the FDA as I already had over the past 3 years when someone (now think it was them)was doing other things to me, the police would give me not only no justice but were horrid to me. I had a terroristic threat(Per a sargeant, the only way I could get any non dirty cop), with caller id name and no and message on my machine that was to be investigated by the major crimes squad but noone ever would. Also a wallet stolen where again I named the suspect and nonone even ever would follow up and had to go to a sargeant to even have a person make a report. If i complain even about a neighbor (who is involved probably)who blasts his steroe so loud after 11 that he couldnt possibly have his hearing left, I GET INTIMIDATED by the cops, so he flaunts it in my face. I of course have no record and do nothing wrong. Ive lived up north and never had this kind of treatment from the police and Im white.my grandpa was a lifelong police officer and I know how it should go.
3.Thus who would you go to if the cops are dirty down here, and getting paid off by the drug co or their good old boy contacts? Its atlanta.
4. DO you know if a private lab would be less likely than the FDA to be paid off?
5. Do you know the names of any private labs that do this type of drug analysis.6.Or the name of what the analysis of drugs is called, to google it-trie

To answer your questions:
1) It is possible to get infections from a humidifier than may be dirty or contains bacteria.
2) If you feel the prescriptions have been tampered with, I would discuss your concerns with the pharmacy and your personal physician.
3) You could contact the FDA if your personal physician or pharmacist isn't helpful.
4) I am not in the law enforcement profession, so I cannot answer your questions about the police.
5) I am not familiar with private labs in the Atlanta area, nor am I familiar with labs who can do a drug analysis. You can discuss this with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
