Twitching’ Illness Hits Several Students, Staff at Virginia School

Wednesday, November 07, 2007

VINTON, Va. — A mysterious illness causing an odd “twitching” symptom has stricken several students and a staff member at a Virginia high school.

Testing continues at William Byrd High School in Roanoke County where students and staff have shown strange symptoms of twitching and spasms since September, but a cause has yet to be determined.

About 30 students staged a walkout and protest earlier this week, and the school has said about 300 of the school’s 1,200 students have been absent.

School officials say they do not plan to close the school.

Roanoke County school officials and health officials have found no environmental cause for the symptoms, which have affected fewer than 10 students, the Associated Press reported.

“I have seen them in the hallway, and it seems pretty bad,” said senior Charlie Wallace, told the Roanoke Times. “It’s uncontrollable. Twitching, that’s the only way you can describe it.”

Students and parents met Monday night with officials from the school system, the Virginia Department of Health and the companies conducting the environmental tests.

Parents asked about the symptoms and urged officials to close the school and offer classes elsewhere. But Superintendent Lorraine Lange said that health experts said that based on the environmental test results, there’s no need to close the school.

So far, the illness has sickened several students and a teacher at William Byrd High School and officials can’t specify specific symptoms to watch out for.

But one mother said her child is experiencing bouts of sudden twitching and uncontrollable arm spasms, along with headaches and dizziness.

I guess CBS didn’t get the memo

Losing The War On Terror — Everywhere

No one I know listens to or reads the news from CBS or NBC. Neither do they buy tickets to the movies that threaten or demean the efforts and safety of our troops. Musicians who preach anti-war rants don't sell music to us and I know of no one buying them.

Thick heads and thick wallets fund the anti-war rhetoric and liberal media. They could use ther wasted money to do good for unfortunate people here or abroad, but instead they try to "educate" us to see things "their way" (not gonna happen now or ever)! The lambs they reference are NOT sheeple.
