East Palestine, Ohio residents are increasingly complaining about ‘unusual’ health problems in the wake of the Norfolk Southern train derailment and toxic spill in early February.
“Doctors say I definitely have the chemicals in me but there’s no one in town who can run the toxicological tests to find out which ones they are,” resident Wade Lovett told the New York Post.
In his interview with the Post, Lovett said that his voice seemed to sound much higher than normal.

“My voice sounds like Mickey Mouse. My normal voice is low. It’s hard to breathe, especially at night,” he said. “My chest hurts so much at night I feel like I’m drowning. I cough up phlegm a lot. I lost my job because the doctor won’t release me to go to work.”
Another local resident, Shelby Walker, who lives close to the derailment site, told the paper that she and her family are also suffering health issues.
“The bad smell comes and goes,” Walker said. “Yesterday was the first day in probably three or four days that I could smell anything. I lost my smell and my sense of taste. I had an eye infection in both eyes. I was having respiratory issues like I was just out of breath. Other members of my family have had eye infections and strep throat.”
“The cleanup crew drives past us at night and won’t even look at us. It’s like we don’t exist. No one has reached out to us or told us anything,” she added.
There have been a number of East Palestine, Ohio residents who have reported rashes.
“Numerous inhabitants of the village have complained of unusual rashes, and a few have visited medical facilities in the past few days for treatment,” Collin Rugg reported on February 18. “However, health authorities remain ‘uncertain’ if this is linked to the train derailment and the consequent discharge of harmful chemicals on February 3rd.”
