What caused illness in girls at 3 schools

The choosen news is picked from CNN.com with the title [What caused illness in girls at 3 schools].

It was a fine day at northern Afghanistan's schoolgirls until the school smelled beautiful, lika a flower, as if someone sprayed perfume into the school. And that’s when the girls started to drop one after the other.A 16-year-old student, Soodaba said. “That’s when we noticed the crowd at the door and this strong perfume like fragrance hitting our sinuses and suddenly we started getting dizzy ". The people who affected by the smell was sent to hospital. They returned to school after the week of the attack.So far there were only three schools smelled such dangerous smell.

According to toxicologist, it was not clear how the smell was released.

In my opinion : The toxicologist should investigate and quickly find the source and the content of the smell to prevent more schools to be harmed by it. At first it produces nice smell and ended up feeling dizzy. It might be another type of poisonous gas. According to the news, the students are not willing to return to school eventhough the incident passed since a week ago. One of the parents said they still have to go to school for the sake of education. To me, the parent is giving a risk to their daughter. What if more worst thing happen to her again? They can bring their children to tuition centre meanwhile until the school confirm they are accident-free from this issue. If a person do not have a healthy mind and body, he/she cannot produce a good performance in education.
