"In 1998, shortly after arriving for work, a Tennessee high-school teacher
reported a “gasoline-like smell” and feeling dizzy. Soon after, many students
and staff began reporting symptoms of chemical poisoning. Some 38 people had
such extreme symptoms they were kept in hospital overnight.
Yet investigators didn’t find any evidence the school had been contaminated.
How could staff and students of this United States high school have had such
extreme reactions without being exposed to a toxic agent?
The answer is the “nocebo effect”."
