H.S. Student Hospitalized After Drinking Lab Chemical On A Dare

ODESSA, Texas -- A student who drank a chemical from his high school lab on a dare was recovering in a hospital, but not before a scare.

The student drank the unidentified chemical on a two-dollar bet at the school, said Nancy Smith, a UMC supervisor.

"We need to find out what it was from the toxicologist," Assistant Principal Ray Lascano said. "All of those materials belonged to one of the chemistry labs."

The student was found last Wednesday in a school hallway, bleeding from the nose and mouth.

4. Well, maybe he'll save generations of high-school students

from drinking potassium chloride on a bet!

Something tells me there was a little more thought with Pasteur...
