One year after a freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, Linda and Russ Murphy, who live on a farm 2.8 miles away, say they are still suffering from strange health symptoms they never had before.

"My periods were completely normal up until the derailment," said Linda Murphy. "They stopped, just stopped."

Russ Murphy said he suffers from diarrhea daily, as well as from occasional dizziness, blurry vision and "cognitive issues."
