One middle school student in Florida recently took his personal hygiene to the extreme when he stopped a school bus due to the overpowering scent of his Axe Body Spray. The Parrish Fire Department and Manatee County EMS responded to a “hazardous materials incident” onboard a local school bus after several students complained of a strong odor. Once the bus driver pulled over and called for help, PFD and MCEMS crews arrived at the scene and discovered that 15 students – half the number of kids on the bus – were suffering from a mild respiratory irritation. The students who complained of respiratory irritations were treated by first responders, while a second bus was dispatched to pick up the other riders. They were transported to a limited access lot at the high school, where they could be picked up by their parents. While on the scene, Parrish Fire District Division Chief Mike Williamson told Today that he interviewed all 30 students from Buffalo Creek Middle School who were aboard the bus to determine who set off the pungent smell, but nobody would admit to it. Despite not having an upfront confession, it wasn’t hard for Williamson to determine who was behind the smell, as he quickly came across a student who had an overwhelming scent of Axe permeating from his body into the air. The discovery was a first for Williamson, too, who told Today in his 33 years of working as the fire chief, he’d never experienced an evacuation likely caused by Axe Body Spray.
