A new report from the CDC details the extent of Hawaii military families’ symptoms following the petroleum leak at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility in Hawaii.
Of those who responded to the voluntary, online survey, 87 percent reported they experienced new or worsened symptoms after the Nov. 20 fuel leak that contaminated the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Navy water system. The system supplies water to about 9,694 Navy, Army, Air Force and civilian households. Of those who responded, 75 percent stated their symptoms lasted 30 days or longer.
Within those seven categories of symptoms there were 32 different specific symptoms. For example, the nervous system category included headaches, dizziness/lightheadedness, seizures/convulsions, fatigue, loss of consciousness/fainting, confusion, difficulty concentrating and difficulty remembering things.
Of those who responded, 37 percent — 853 — said they sought medical care, including 17 who were hospitalized overnight. On March 18, the final area was cleared and officials said it was safe to drink and use the water again.
