EMERGENCY workers were called to an unusual deodorant-related incident in Florida, USA this week, apparently caused when a schoolboy used a little too much body spray.
Students were aboard a school bus in Manatee County when the driver became concerned there might have been something dangerous in the overwhelming manly smell and decided to pull over.
Officers evacuated the vehicle before examining the pheromone-plagued middle school pupils for any adverse effects, and also called for a second bus to pick them up.
Local TV station ABC Action News reported that "thankfully no one was transported to the hospital from having too much Axe body spray".
Don't think that couldn't happen here - the same products are sold under the Lynx brand in Australia, meaning an emergency situation from overuse of the underarm stuff could be just around the corner.
