But we already cleaned and we put some Febreze try to get rid of the smell.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe Southern California Gas <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Company<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> needs to be responsible for this and needs to clean this up when it\u2019s found in people\u2019s properties,\u201d said Cynthia Harding, the interim director of the Department of Public Health.\u00a0She\u00a0said being around the petroleum component doesn\u2019t pose any health hazards, but touching it can cause a rash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The tweet included a link telling people\u00a0to avoid <\/span><span class=\"s2\">suspicious<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> growth in gardens and not to eat\u00a0anything with those brownish spots. It is just another blow to Porter Ranch residents\u00a0like Weinberg and her family who are still living in rentals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe still don\u2019t feel <\/span><span class=\"s2\">safe<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> to come back. We have to really clean the house, and we\u2019re thinking of getting new drapes.
