Krystal Henagan used to live across the highway from the Vulcan Materials Company
According to Henagan, once her family moved there, they started feeling sick. “Rheumatic fever, flu-like symptoms, cough, I started losing my balance,” said Henagan. My 4-year-old son had several mucus plugs in his lungs and even though we were treating it with medication, the symptoms weren t going away. Henagan said her neighbors were sick too with similar symptoms. “I just knew that it wasn’t right,” she said.
