Students at West Florence High School, around 80 miles east of the state capital, Columbia, had been complaining about a bizarre odor since August 25, with many reporting that it was making them feel unwell.

The school launched an urgent investigation into the smell, spending $55,000 on inspections and air conditioning repairs. Even the high school's gas lines, propane systems, and air quality had been inspected.

However, the source of the odor remained a mystery.

Eventually, students began experiencing nausea, dizziness, and migraines with some seeking medical attention for respiratory issues connected to the smell.

"My [son's] asthma has been triggered multiple times because of this, and I had to take him to the doctor three times," one parent said, asking to remain anonymous.

Like, there were students at my highschool who released stink bombs a couple times, but you'd think an adult would figure out they should quit the prank when kids started having breathing problems.

I have little to no confidence in the maturity or intelligence of so-called adults these days.
