TOXIC CHEMICAL POISONING: HAVE YOU BEEN AFFECTED? HOW TO KNOW
On Feb. 3, a train carrying vinyl chloride, a potentially hazardous chemical, derailed just outside the small town of East Palestine.
Railroad officials ordered a controlled burn of the chemicals, sending plumes of contaminated smoke into the sky.
Since the derailment, East Palestinians have reported various degrees of sickness.
One resident told Dr. Marc Siegel of New York City, a Fox News medical contributor, that she has experienced shortness of breath, headache, lightheadedness, irritated throat and swollen eyes.
Her husband reported a gravelly voice, a headache that lasted for weeks, dizziness and a tingling sensation in his gums.
