<p><em>Latkanich thinks fracking chemicals polluted his water well and made his family sick.

And he came out with rashes that were beyond poison ivy or oak.”</em></p>

Since the bath that led to his son’s rash, Latkanich said the boy has been diagnosed with asthma and suffered incontinence, “defecating himself almost on a daily basis from just the use of this water, apparently.”</em></p>
<p><em>Latkanich himself has been diagnosed with neuropathy, a kind of nerve damage that causes him joint pain.</em></p>
