    This… well, it made me laugh until I read the article. Having worked in a high school for years I can attest to the horrors of Axe but when hospitalization is required, scent seems to go to another level. That stuff is powerful! Combined with boy sweat and the girls wearing clouds of the latest celebuscent, a small classroom does feel like a bio hazard sometimes.

      Or combined with mass hysteria? Hard to tell what happened.

        Mass hysteria is an excellent point.
