Carl and Judy Stiles of Sugar Run, in Bradford County, were told by a toxicologist to get out of their home last November after theyd been suffering severe abdominal pain, muscle tremors, dizziness, racing heart and other cardiac symptoms for months. They live not far from where the Susquehanna River began bubbling with gas after Chesapeake Energy began drilling and fracking nearby. The Stiles abandoned their home last November, but they continue to have symptoms. Arsenic and barium were confirmed in their blood tests at high levels; and radium 226 was also confirmed in their water. They have been told by one doctor to expect to get leukemia within two years. The last time I spoke with them, a few weeks ago, their daughter had been hospitalized with mysterious seizures.
