Texas Teen ‘Chemically Burned from Head to Toe’ After Taking Shower

A Texas family says their 16-year-old daughter was left in agony after a simple shower allegedly turned into a nightmare.

David and Misty Logan claim their teenage daughter suffered chemical burns “from head to toe” after showering in their home in Trinidad, Texas, last month — and they believe the city’s water is to blame.

“On May 28, 2026, my child was chemically burned from head to toe from Trinidad’s water!” Misty wrote in a fiery Facebook post on Wednesday, June 3. “We have doctors saying it is from the water! My daughter suffered for days, her whole body was burning for days!”

The furious mom said she felt helpless watching her daughter cry in pain.

“As a mom, I felt so helpless not being able to make her better!” Misty wrote. “I’m so angry at the city of Trinidad. They had put chemicals in our water. I was never notified of that being done.”

She added, “My daughter did not deserve this. This city needs to get their s— together and now. We don’t need anyone else getting sick, let alone burned from chemicals that are being put in our water!”

The Logans later told FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth that they have had problems with the water in Trinidad for years.

“We’ve always had a problem with this water since we’ve lived here,” Misty said. “It’s always been discolored, smells.”

David said he strongly believes the water had something to do with what happened to his daughter.

“This is not a laughing matter,” he told the station. “I do strongly believe that this, with my daughter, had something to do with the water.”

At first, the family said they did not know what was causing the teen’s painful skin reaction. But when she tried taking more showers to soothe the burning, her condition allegedly became worse.

“Only thing we came to a conclusion on is each time you got in that water to try to relieve yourself it only made it worse,” Misty said.

According to FOX 4, medical records from Children’s Health in Dallas stated that the girl’s skin irritation was “most likely chemical burn/severe dermatitis from water she was exposed to.”

“The doctors came to the conclusion that what she had been exposed to was something from our water,” Misty said.

The disturbing incident comes as residents in Trinidad have reportedly been raising concerns about the city’s water quality.

FOX 4 reported that the City of Trinidad previously announced on Facebook that it was temporarily switching from chloramine to free chlorine in the water system from April 27 to May 30. The post reportedly warned residents they might notice a change in taste and odor.

The post appears to have since been deleted.

The Logans’ attorney later shared what he described as preliminary test strip results on X, which appeared to suggest dangerous levels of free chlorine in the family’s water.

“Everyone in the city needs to be able to turn their faucet on and be able to drink the water with no hesitation,” Misty told FOX 4.

The controversy has only grown more explosive because the city had already been under scrutiny over water complaints.

In April, Henderson County resident Jennifer Combs was charged with felony false alarm after she made a Facebook post alleging people had been hospitalized after drinking Trinidad’s water.

Trinidad Police Chief Charles Gregory told FOX 4 that Combs’ post created “fear, panic, or unnecessary emergency response within a community.”

Combs has since filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Trinidad and Gregory, claiming she was arrested in “an act of deliberate political retaliation.”

Then, on Thursday, June 4, a Trinidad City Council water workshop for residents was abruptly canceled “at the advice of counsel,” according to ABC affiliate KLTV, which cited Mayor Dennis Haws.

The cancellation left the Logans furious and still searching for answers.

“My daughter was chemically burned, with no answers, and tonight was supposed to be a night about the water topic,” David told KLTV.

Misty said seeing what her daughter went through changed everything.

“After watching what my daughter went through head to toe, my momma bear is out, I’m done,” she said.

PEOPLE reported that it reached out to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the City of Trinidad and Misty Logan for further comment.
