‘Our Skin Is Melting’: Ohio Residents Report Horrific Side-Effects Following Train Wreck
Fact checked
Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, are experiencing horrific side effects of the chemical attack, including some reports of skin literally melting.
On February 3, a train hauling 20 cars with hazardous materials derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. A huge fire erupted, which led to the decision to burn vinyl chloride inside five of the tanker cars.
The highly toxic chemicals inside the five rail cars were diverted and burnt as part of what officials called a “controlled release,” letting off toxic carcinogenic chemicals such as hydrogen chloride, phosgene, butyl acrylate, ethylhexyl acrylate, and ethylene glycol monobutyl into the atmosphere.
Infowars.com reports: In addition to people, the chemicals took a toll on wildlife in the area. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources told Sputnik around 3,500 fish died in waterways near the site of the train derailment.
Officials at first repeatedly claimed the air quality and drinking water did not pose threats but, finally, Governor Mike DeWine announced on Friday that a creek near East Palestine is still “severely contaminated.” He noted it will take time to remediate the situation. Meanwhile, the Biden administration announced it would deploy a team of toxicologists to the site.
Nadine Lucie Straile does not live in East Palestine but began to experience a horrible headache and burning of the skin after she ate dinner at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant near the site of the controlled release on February 7.
