Students at West Florence High School, around 80 miles east of the state capital, Columbia, had been complaining about a bizarre odor since August 25, with many reporting that it was making them feel unwell.
The school launched an urgent investigation into the smell, spending $55,000 on inspections and air conditioning repairs. Even the high school’s gas lines, propane systems, and air quality had been inspected.
However, the source of the odor remained a mystery.
Eventually, students began experiencing nausea, dizziness, and migraines with some seeking medical attention for respiratory issues connected to the smell.
Like, there were students at my highschool who released stink bombs a couple times, but you’d think an adult would figure out they should quit the prank when kids started having breathing problems.
I have little to no confidence in the maturity or intelligence of so-called adults these days.
