State regulators knew nothing about the gas-field chemical spill http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1217725058
... that ended with a Durango nurse's illness because it happened on tribal land...
Behr removed Marshall's boots, which she said were damp. She and other nurses noticed a strong chemical smell when Marshall walked into the hospital.
"If (he) didn't have any chemical on (him), what the heck were we smelling?" Behr said.
Behr fell ill a few days later, and within a week she was fighting for her life in the intensive care unit....
Delayed symptoms are common after phosphate exposures, said Theo Colburn, president of The Endocrine Disruption Exchange, a Paonia nonprofit agency that has been critical of the chemicals used in gas drilling.
Phosphate "has the ability to shut down the body's ability to produce steroids," Colburn said. This can lead to immune-system failure.
Behr began to recover after her doctor treated her with steroids.
