During fall and winter I get sinus problems and headaches. That's also the time of year the cold fronts are bringing Arlington air south towards San Antonio. That must be the cause, damn those frackers!
Yikes. Holyyyy I just made a major connection. So for about 2 years now, I have been having heart palpitations and bad headaches which i thought were tension headaches. Around the time that all this fracking in the article started happening. I never made the connection that the foul, sewage like smell i would smell if I left the house at night could be from fracking. I always wondered what that was and never knew it until reading this article.
Pisses me off how it's legal for them to get away with this and the burden of proof is on the citizen. This crap has been causing my entire family health problems, mostly just mild headaches and bad sinus trouble but occasionally heart palpitations. Anyone else live by any of this?

Symptoms are year round for us, I never used to get headaches in my life until 2 years ago. That strong sewage smell HAD to be the fracking. I never thought of it until I read the article but that distinctive smell popped right into my head as I was reading. I remember calling my parents and asking them if they could smell anything that I thought one of the rigs were leaking. I didn't know what fracking was back then. PS I have a bad headache right now, per the usual.
RickyBobby's apolitical, Human-American-loving TCEQ, a David immune to regulatory capture by UCA Goliath, is going to use TX taxpayers $Ms at going after frackers for screwing up land, air, water, people?
the fracking hysteria continues... Why aren't the employees of these fracking companies getting sick from the "fumes"? I guess everyone near these fracksites should be 100% healthy all the time.
I am not trying to make an arguement one way or another on the OP, but just suggesting a situation where this may be possible. It may be due to methane in the water and perhaps the workers (many of which live in hotels quite a bit away from the worksites) don't get any, or as much exposure to the water which is being polluted with the methane.
(yes, I know OP was talking about fumes, I am just spitballing here)
I KNOW that NOBODY should be sickened EVER by fracking fumes, liquids, sand (silicosis).
That smell is probably just sulphur dioxide in low concentrations...It's fairly common in drilling processes. Smells like sewage/rotten eggs?
Smells like Luling has for as long as I can remember, I imagine.
Their BBQ is worth putting up with the smell in the air tbh.
The fracking land leasing companies have clauses in their contracts with landowners that cancel all lease payments if the landowner goes public with pollution or other whines.
's funny. My contract has no language at all like that.
I was actually looking specifically for something like that before I signed it....this was back before the frac-outrage was upon us which might explain the lack of said language.

that and you just don't notice after 10 mins.
Easily my favorite restaurant in the state.
Huh? No way dude, my dad has been having really bad sinus problems for a while and our doctor specifically told him that it was probably the fracking and that it was causing a lot of people around here health problems. He said that it was accepted amongst doctors but not yet challenged or proven by studies that the fracking caused health problems and that technically he really wasn't supposed to even be telling it to his patients.
yes that was exactly it..stunk like
You know that causes testicular cancer in young males, right? You should get checked out.
I will wait for Agloco to explain how Fracking is not only good for the soil it promotes healthy gums.
leave it to spurstalk to make immature smug comments about REAL issues

A friend of mine that has a ranch in the wet part of the eagleford shale got $3000 an acre just for the signing/exploration rights.
He paid $2600 an acre for the ranch just 4 years ago. Sweet deal.
google "fracking leases gag clauses", even doctors are being gagged.
