Rotten Office Fridge Cleanup Sends 7 To Hospital

Posted by samzenpus on from the step-away-from-the-handle dept.

bokske writes "An office worker cleaning a fridge full of rotten food created a smell so noxious that it sent seven co-workers to the hospital and made many others ill. Firefighters had to evacuate the AT&T building in downtown San Jose on Tuesday, after the flagrant fumes prompted someone to call 911. A hazmat team was called in. Just another day at the office."

    Losing your sense of smell doesn't make you immuned to these chemicals. The article clearly outlines the fact that it was just a gross smell, nothing more- http://entertainment.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1231883&cid=27941825

    TFA that's linked on slashdot mentions her lack of smell was the reason she wasn't hospitalized. Sounds to me like it was just a gross smell- not a dangerous smell.
