not fun way for me to get school cancled

Had an interesting experience today and i think im the reason my school got out early and is cancled tomorow.

(on a side note incase you dont know i have sever allergies and asthman (kind of killed most of my early childhood but im not getting into that))

Over the weekend our school applied pesticide to the carpets and such due to flea trouble for some reason. well when i got there in the morning i start itching and feeling sick. ok i go to vocational at another school i feel sick the whole way there and there but i start feeling better on the way back.

When i get back to school i start itching on all my exposed skin. when im sitting in english class my teacher (who is itching to and having the same symptoms) has to leave (also my joints where swelling up and my throat was a little as well) during this time (i had already gone to see the nurse and called my mom to bring in benadryl) the Vice Prinicipal comes and tells me to come to the nurses office. i come and see my mom there and go take benadryl (i didnt notice it but my mom says i was already starting to have tick like shakes (never had them before)) and right after i took the benadryl i passed out. when i came to the VP, nurse, and my mom where lifting me into a wheal chair and i was starting to have seazure like ticks (never had ticks or seazures before) and while there wheeling me outside i couldnt talk and my face felt like it was appart from me and every muscle felt like it was trying to twitch a different way on my arms sholders and face. i start getting better out of the school and my mom takes me to the hospital where i get a cordizone shot. that was painfull but i have had worse (tilt table test for those who know tests or are medical swavy (that was a horrible test)) and now i see on the news that the school is closed for tomorow and that they are doing safe air tests.

what morbidly amuses me is what one station said "though most students where fine some students and faculty had troubles" heh....

oh and before i forget six students (including me) and a teacher had to go home from this

What kind of pesticide did they use, and how bad was the problem that they couldn't wait for a break?

Wow! Thank the Lord that your okay. That sounded pretty serious...
I'll pray for you and that this doesn't happen again.

You'd think they would've checked your medical records and warned you about it or something.
