Mass hysteria caused illness on bus, expert says

Last Updated Fri, 28 May 2004 22:33:35

VANCOUVER - A leading epidemiologist at the University of British Columbia says a suspected poisoning on a Vancouver bus earlier this week appears to be a case of mass hysteria.

"Nausea, vomiting, all of those kinds of things are associated with this," he says. "Somebody starts to get sick and then it rapidly spreads to other people. (It's) quite a classic presentation for this sort of thing."

A suspicious passenger and mysterious pellets were suspected of poisoning the driver, but tests showed the substance was nothing more than harmless plant material.

I guess people are getting really edgy with all this bioterrorism stuff being constantly emphasized in the news. <_>

This isn't really that unusual. I remember several times as a ute ridin home onna bus, if one kid puked the smell would fill the bus and inevitably it would make at least one or two more kids puke. In an enclosed space like a bus the smell of vomit freshly puked is really nauseating. Though old vomit smells pretty bad too. And even when it starts to get all caked and plasticy, it's still really slippery until it dries completely, probably due to the high mucus content of vomit. Its the mucus that makes those long strings in the vomit that don't want to completely disconnect themselves and swing onto your chin and clothes and nearby finely upholstered furnishings. Walking off that bus must have been like a puke-splattered slip'n slide.

The Romans used to have a special place for people to puke called a vomitorium. Maybe Canadian busses should have them too.

No, I am pretty sure it was called the Bush State of the Union Address. Its amazing how half the room vomits while the other claps.

The people vomiting at the state of the union address were the ones that think Kerry may win in the fall. They want to vomit now while there is still no tax on it. If Kerry wins, it will be taxed 4sure. :D

Looks like the worker's vomit has been flowing pretty steady even without Kerry. :D
