Recently, many FHS students have contracted a mysterious “butt rash.” This rash was found on the back of the legs, buttocks and lower backs of some female high school students. The rash and burning sensation was discovered shortly after using the two girls bathrooms located on the second floor.
After going to the nurse to be treated, there was still not a cause for this bizarre health scare. At that point, the only information known was that the rash was not contagious in any way, shape or form.
At first, it was rumored that the cleaning supplies the school uses was to blame. That idea was quickly shot down, because the school district hadn’t changed the cleaning supplies that they use in about four years.
If the cleaning supplies weren’t the cause, then what was? The school is still unsure of what caused this mystery rash, but samples were sent in for testing so that the substance might be identified.
In order to ensure the safety of students, the toilet seats in the affected bathrooms were removed and replaced. All the bathrooms are also being cleaned twice per day, as a precautionary action.
There have been no recent reports of this rash since the initial complaints.
Remember all of those times that parents said not to sit on public toilet seats? Well, it would’ve been a good idea to listen to that here. Next time you decide that you need to go to the bathroom, remember, T.P. (toilet paper) the seat, or you could get a butt rash.
