34 hospitalized after co-worker sprays perfume:

FORT WORTH, Texas - At first, fire officials suspected that carbon monoxide or some other toxic fumes had sickened almost 150 people at a Texas bank call center.

It turned out that perfume was to blame.

MedStar ambulance spokeswoman Lara Kohl says 34 people were taken to hospitals, 12 by ambulance, after reporting dizziness and shortness of breath Wednesday at a Bank of America call center in Fort Worth. Medics treated 110 at the scene.

I'm not that fond of strong perfume in the work place but how can perfume make you sick? Sounds like mass hysteria to me - like when my chickens freak. One hen starts freaking and that freaks all the other hens and the next thing you know the feathers are flying.
