Symptomatology <strong>of</strong> a <strong>gas</strong> <strong>field</strong> - An independent health survey in the Tara rural residential estates and environs<br />
Reported symptoms <strong>of</strong> tingling, numbness, and pins and needles increased from 8%<br />
prior to CSG to 42% after. (Figures 11 and 12)<br />
FIGURE 11 TINGLING, NUMBNESS, PINS AND NEEDLES BEFORE CSG (AGE 6-82)<br />
FIGURE 12 TINGLING, NUMBNESS, PINS AND NEEDLES AFTER CSG (AGE 6-82)<br />
In order to determine if the symptoms were age related, the data was reanalysed for the<br />
age 6-18 age group. There were 31 children in this group (Appendix B). Since the results<br />
were similar for chest discomfort, chest tightness and difficulty breathing, only chest<br />
tightness was displayed in a pie chart. The results are striking.<br />
After CSG<br />
19 out <strong>of</strong> 31children or 61% had spontaneous nose bleeds reported;<br />
