Laced Brownies in the Teachers Lounge


Three teachers in Detroit Michigan felt sick after eating brownies out of the teachers lounge. When the teachers ate the brownies and began to feel sick and sluggish, they went to the hospital and they all tested positive for marijuana. The remaning brownies were tested as well.  It turns out that a teacher intentionally or accidentally brought brownies to the school that were laced. There is an investigation by the the School District on determining who brought them too school.

3 year old kid shoots his 15 year old brother during Hide and Seek


A three year old stepson of a Highway Patrol Officer, shot his 15 year old brother with a .22 gauge rifle while in a game of hide and seek. The three year old got the rifle out of his step dads closet. The fifteen year old stepson is recovering, after being taken to the hospital. Charges have not been filed but is under investigation. This is a situation where do you blame the parents? How do you charge a three year old? Guns should not be available for kids to be in access of but where do you drawl the line on whos fault it is.

Increase of Rabbit Fever in Humans


   Rabbit Fever was something that was seen decades ago, with only about 125 cases a year except in 1940 there were 2200. But already this year there has been a whooping 235 cases this year, more than in any other year since 1984. Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming have had over 100 cases, with a man actually dying. Rabbit Fever or tularemia, is when ticks and deer flies prey on the bacteria from other small animals and then when humans are bit or handling dead animals, then bacteria spreads. The symptoms range from head aches, to fevers and can be treated with antibiotics.
