Chemical Fire In My Area - Are These Chemicals Dangerous To Those With Illness

Yesterday there was a bad rainstorm here and lightning struck a chemical plant not far from my house. The lightning blew the lid off of 2 chemicals and the smell has been in the air ever since.

They are saying there is no danger but due to Lyme I have respiratory issues and heart symptoms so I have opted to stay the night at a hotel. I noticed an increase in symptoms and shortness of breath from the chemical smell so I am wondering if anyone thinks these would be dangerous to those with Lyme, despite what the EPA is saying.

The chemicals are Ethyl Acrylate and Butyl Acrylate. The smell was terrible and they did not evacuate us.

Achieving Grace,

I am between LLMD's right now, and don't see one until July. My GP retired last month, so now I'm needing a new one of those, too.

The chemical fact sheet says they are carcinogens, which obviously destroy the CNS (just what I need!), but the EPA is saying the levels were safe and that the biggest problem was the odor. I just don't know which to trust. After starting to feel a bit better after detoxing, I'm definitely feeling side effects (burning throat, some shortness of breath, and a migraine).
