Strong odor at Caney Creek High School cancels class, sends at least 6 students to the hospital
**EDITOR'S NOTE: THIS STORY IS PREVIOUS COVERAGE** FOX 26 Reporter Matthew Seedorff spoke with parents and officials about the odor that canceled class on the campus.
HOUSTON - A student has confessed to using a spray that caused numerous other students to get sick this week at Caney Creek High School.
According to Jeff Stichler, Principal of Caney Creek High School, extensive testing was conducted by outside agencies and the mechanical, ventilation, and sewer systems were all ruled out as possible causes or sources of the odor that led to numerous students getting sick.
School officials said water samples were also tested and returned no findings of any kind. Multiple fire departments also confirmed the safety of the air quality at the campus and determined that there were no odors when the building is not occupied by students.
Through the investigative work of the Conroe ISD Police Department and campus administration, we believe the odor was introduced by a student or students using a highly concentrated, prink, stink spray called Hensgaukt Fart Spray.
