The Cristo Rey Jesuit High School at 420 S. Chester St in Baltimore was evacuated Thursday afternoon after a possible hazardous substance was found on the third floor. Students and staff were being evaluated outside.
Two students and three adults were transported as a precaution, one of the adults were transported for an unrelated reason.
UPDATE: A spokesman for the Baltimore City Fire Department has confirmed the source was a pumpkin spice scented air freshener. No further explanation has been provided yet.

To be fair, ‘pumpkin spice’ is a dangerous scent. :P
Those giant cinnamon spiced pinecones are worse!
Better to be safe than sorry.
Oh good God.
Anything to get out of work/school.
Honestly innocently clicked this, not expecting Baltimore....

They all must have been liberal democrat women teachers. “Chicken little” syndrome. Scared of EVERYTHING!
When my great grandad went to public school in NYC one of his idiot buddies brought gas odorizer in and dumped some into the ventilation system. He said havoc ensued (to put it mildly) not only the school but the surrounding neighborhood was evacuated.
Makes a fantastic Christmas gift for dear old dad.
Now THAT’S a story to tell the grandkids.
Wow !
.
Once they’re out of school . . . right?
And he did. He calls the kids today pikers. He’s in his nineties and the stuff he talks about when he was a kid, he’d be under the jail today but back then, meh.
There are two students and three adults who ought to be thoroughly embarrassed by their crowd sourced illnesses from the pumpkin spice.
These people are out of their gourds.
Puts them in line for handouts they know how to work the system
If it’s the plug-in thing by Air Wick, I get it. I plugged one of the pumpkin scented fresheners and after four hours it had to go. It was awful. My cats wouldn’t even go into the room. Nasty.
My dad and some of the older boys caught a skunk and put it inside their little country school house on Sunday after church (their school was used as a church on Sundays) just to get the school closed down a few days. It worked too, but somehow the teacher found out who did it and they were all told not to return to school.
Of course back then if you got thrown out of school it meant you had to get a job and start being an adult. It was my dad’s 8th grade year and he didn’t graduate. Had to start a man’s job on the day after he got kicked out too.
I hate those things. I know when they’re putting them out in stores when I feel like vomiting as soon as I get in the door.
Wonder how long it took to get the stink out? Somehow at my GGpops school they had a neutralizer that kinda got rid of the smell but sometimes there was that lingering odor.
