Locals say they have suffered from a range of health issues, while some pets have died, amid fears that the accident has infected the area with toxic chemicals.
Therese Vigliotti, who lives 15 miles north of East Palestine and was therefore not included in the evacuation zone, said she had suffered from numb lips, a burning tongue and throat, and even blood in her stools. Her throat is still troubling her ten days after the derailment.
Animals have also been suffering as a result of the chemical spill. Taylor Holzer lives near East Palestine but keeps foxes and other exotic animals at a property inside the evacuation zone. He toldthat his pet fox died in his arms and that a number of his exotic rescue animals became sick. He has also spent thousands of dollars for some of his other animals to undergo treatment at a veterinary hospital.
