Since then, there has been a massive cleanup effort underway. Although state and federal officials have insisted to East Palestine residents that chemicals associated with the derailment have not been found in the air or drinking water at levels that would pose a risk to human health, it was recently revealed that investigators from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) experienced symptoms similar to chemical exposure while examining the health impacts of the train derailment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>CDC Investigators Experienced Symptoms<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"457731\"><figcaption><span>ABC<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span>The CDC reported on Thursday that seven investigators &#8220;briefly fell ill&#8221; in early March. Symptoms included sore throats, headaches, coughing, and nausea, which are similar to those reported by residents of East Palestine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The teams were going house-to-house in the area around the derailment, surveying any potential chemical exposure. They immediately reported their symptoms to federal safety officers. Most team members&#8217; symptoms were resolved later the same afternoon, and all of them resumed work within 24 hours. No one reported any lasting effects, according to a CDC spokesperson&#8217;s statement to CNN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Although it is unclear what caused the symptoms, some members of the group, which includes officers and physicians in the CDC&#8217;s Epidemic Intelligence Service, suspect it was due to chemical exposure because they all became ill at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The incident was not publicly reported because the investigators&#8217; symptoms subsided after they left the area. Nevertheless, CNN confirmed the event with a CDC spokesperson.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Symptoms Were the Same Ones They Were Investigating<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"16764\"><figcaption><span>Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span>The team was investigating the same symptoms that they began experiencing. There have been numerous reports of East Palestine residents experiencing symptoms such as headaches, sore throats, nasal congestion, bloody noses, skin rashes, coughs, and eye irritation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In February, two EPA contractors who were likewise working in the vicinity of the East Palestine crash area reported symptoms associated with strong odors. They were instructed to leave the area, and their symptoms improved; hence they returned to the site on the same day to resume their activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Over 50% of the Surveyed Individuals Experienced Symptoms<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"440868\"><figcaption><span>Gorodenkoff \/ Shutterstock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span>According to the Ohio Department of Health, over half of the 514 individuals who took the Ohio ACE survey to date have reported symptoms after the derailment. Headaches (74%), anxiety (61%), coughing (53%), fatigue (53%), pain, irritation, or burning of the skin (50%), and stuffy nose\/sinus congestion (50%) are among the symptoms reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>  <\/main>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They were going house-to-house.
