"Once I got down the line, I was able to determine it,'' Williamson told TODAY."Before I could even tell what I was looking for, I made a motion like I was spraying, and he handed me an empty bottle of the black Axe Body Spray. I could smell it all over him."
Students were treated at the scene for respiratory distress after inhaling what fire department officials say was Axe Body Spray.The buses have air-conditioning and the windows were closed during the ride due to the warm weather, which exacerbated the smell, School District of Manatee County spokesperson Mike Barber told TODAY., who called 911 while the bus was stopped and evacuated. Williamson said no student would cop to what happened and whether it was hygiene gone wrong or simply a prank.
The school can not confirm or deny that Axe Body Spray specifically was the culprit in causing the smell, although one student did have a bottle of empty Axe Body Spray in his backpack, according to Barber. The bus was ventilated and firefighters boarded the bus with full equipment and instruments to determine there were no hazardous chemicals or solids aboard.
