‘Mass’ hysteria in US school

A school in the USA is experiencing a breakout of Tourette's syndrome and they cannot determine the cause, Sky News has reported.

At least 15 girls in Le Roy High School have over the past months begun to twitch and have uncontrollable, loud outbursts – even using foul language. Doctors say it could be conversion disorder (mass hysteria) – a psychological condition.

The school is investigating possible sources, including a chemical spill that occurred 6km from the school in 1970.
