“When the blowout happened, my daughter got rashes on her arms and chest. She developed a chronic dry cough. My son started getting rashes too. His rashes got really severe. He has Tourette’s Syndrome and his symptoms were out of control. He became a completely different child during the blowout. We went to doctors and they didn’t know what was going on with him. After 16 years of living in the house that we had started our family in— where we had planted our roots— we had to get rid of everything and start all over. It was the only way to protect my family.” — NANCY HERNANDEZ, 48
