Kristin also had rashes on her leg/foot after showering. Her 8-year-old son has also been sick--she took him to ER last week for nosebleeds. Both of them were diagnosed w/ chemical inhalation. **HER WATER IS CONNECTED TO EP CITY WATER— which the governor and EPA declared safe.
“It feels like the worst flu imaginable,” Battaglia, 37, told us about her symptoms following the derailment. She also has an ear infection, sore throat, cough, chest pain, burning eyes, constant running nose, headaches and migraines, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and bone pain.
Her son's nosebleeds started last week. Akron's Children's Hospital did CT scan and "it showed all his airways were swollen and inflamed to the point the capillaries in his nose burst. His throat, adenoids, and lymph nodes were all enlarged as well," Kristin said.
Kristin is not the only resident who shared images of their rashes. Ashley McCollum, who has been staying with her kids 4 miles from EP in Darlington PA, has rashes on her chin, neck, and chest. “My neck and chin on fire,” McCollum told us.
