A whiff of something weird

Posted by Robin on 7 October 2017 6 Comments

Students at a Baltimore high school had gotten a whiff of something weird.

During class Thursday afternoon, students at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School started to smell a “strange odor.”

Some of them began to cough and have trouble breathing, so students and staff members were evacuated from the building, and the fire department was called to investigate the cause.

— The Washington Post gives the answer away in the article title: A school was evacuated over a ‘strange odor.’ It was pumpkin spice air freshener.
