Seven U.S. government investigators briefly fell ill in early March while investigating the possible health impacts of the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, according to U.S. media, citing the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday.
"Symptoms resolved for most team members later the same afternoon," the CDC said in a statement. "Everyone resumed work on survey data collection within 24 hours. Impacted team members have not reported ongoing health effects."
The CDC said their symptoms included sore throat, headache, coughing and nausea. Locals in East Palestine have also reported similar illnesses following the derailment on February 3.
It's unclear if the investigators' symptoms came from the toxic chemicals that had been released into the environment.
