The heavy rains and flooding in August and September 2011 may have lead to a release of dichloroacetylene (DCA) in LeRoy, NY. DCA is a neurotoxic decomposition product of trichloroethylene (TCE) which spilled in the area 40 years ago due to a train derailment. DCA has been shown to cause tremors and cranial nerve palsies – or the more vernacular name - tics. More investigation of this possible connection is warranted.
