UP School Students Hospitalized After Insecticide Spray
A school in Uttar Pradesh had an insecticide spray over the weekend to get rid of mosquitoes.
When students returned to school on Monday, about two dozen of them got sick.
They experienced symptoms like throwing up and skin irritation.
The students were taken to the hospital, where they are doing better now.
The school used a mosquito spray, and the doctors think the sickness was caused by the spray's leftovers and perhaps because some students were fasting.
The police are looking into what happened.
Around two dozen students at a UP school were hospitalized after an insecticide spray.
Students experienced vomiting and facial irritation on Monday morning.
The school administration conducted fogging with a mosquito repellent insecticide on Saturday, July 26.
Authorities suspect the residual effect of the insecticide and fasting contributed to the health issues.
All affected students are stable, and no major complications have been reported.
