Mass hysteria aside, I thought it kinda normal if someone was nauseated after seeing someone else puked or smell the puke... My friends all act this way, 90% of the time. They don't always feel sick, they're just too grossed out by the puking...

[@Withkoraa]

same tbh If I see someone puke,I'll end up doing it too

[@LeonardoHamato]

It triggers my gag reflex, I hate it so much cause my gag reflex brings me to literal tears

[@greenbeantm1096]

For some people it is normal

[@deadonarrivalgirl9785]

Ok, gross story. My older siblings (3 sisters 1 brother) all got sick around the same time and one morning, brother started throwing up but the walls were so thin that everyone in the house could hear him. He was throwing up in the toilet, sister 1 ran in and threw up in the tub, sister 2 took the kitchen sink and sister 3 just ran to the back yard. Mom was in a frenzy to help them while my dad (also sick/type 2 diabetic) was laughing because he was used to early morning vomit parties alone. Still a fun dinner table story from my parents.

[@LeonardoHamato]

Other people throwing up causes me to gag and of the gag is strong enough it can force up a bit of stomach acid, I usually try to swallow it and drink something fizzy to get rid of the sting but I'm sure at some point I probably have thrown up a bit because of hearing or seeing someone else throw up

[@doggaming2907]

Isn’t anybody gonna talk about how fast they figured out there wasn’t a gas leak

[@fennek1nviking]

There is devices that can easily check the C02 level and other gasses in a room. We have a couple of them at my construction job, and I am sure if a public building has a gas system it would be smart for them to have those equipment in the building since gas leaks are extremely deadly.

A hospital have many sensors. If a gas leak is suspected or happens, the hospital is thoroughly checked or evacuated. However, as a precaution, a crew is always on call or maintains gas pipes 24/7. My brother is an inspector, and he’s dispatched to hospitals every week.

[@TK-Reikon]

I've been in a psych ward and saw this happen first hand. I was the cause, I had severe food poisoning and had to go the er floor fluids and emesis treatment. So as I was gone everyone was locked down in thier rooms and got better with rest and time. When I got back everyone was fine and I was stuck in bed for a day resting. Got visited by everyone though. One good thing that came from treatment!

[@mary-janereallynotsarah684]

Lol I would puke if others did because I'm very sensitive to puking, and easily vomit but I don't understand how people can develop stuff like rashes and things. It sounds wild. Edit I've been on psych wards too lol. Fun people there if u catch a good wave of people.

[@kristabaker3321]

My dad had an allergic reaction to Lisinopril to where his lips, tongue and face ended up super swollen. His doctor "prescribed" him sour candy, specifically War Heads. We finally found some and they did the trick. It was a blocked salivary gland.

Mass Hysteria is a near perfect reflection on the consequences of our own social circles. Yeah, laughing and talking is healthy for a community to govern and migrate new ideas, but what exactly happens when those ideas aren't properly thought out and sends the wrong commands your body is trying to expel like waste. Being balanced isn't a suggestion, it's a mandatory life-or-die situation.

[@awntoeni]

When I saw that all of them suddenly started feeling ill after all of them seeing the girl puke I instantly thought of mass hysteria, guess I’ve been watching too much medical shows to now have a feeling on what things can be.

The comment about preferably cherry flavoured likely comes from the fact that a lot of cheaper cherry flavoured candies are almost indistinguishable from some childrens medications.

[@zachscarbrough2727]

Tell me about it. Got my knockoff cherry candy mixed with my cough drops. Never even noticed a difference, besides my Cough not calming down. 😅

[@defunctdefunctdefunct]

Lol, as soon as the boy said he smelled rotten eggs too I knew it was mass hysteria. I’ve seen it with younger kids though, like grades K-5. They’re still soaking up their surroundings and their imaginations help amplify this. If one kid had a stomach ache, every kid suddenly had a stomach ache. Actually, I do remember a similar situation like this when I was in the 6th grade. One girl got a poison ivy rash and the entire class started to itch and claim having brushed up against the ivy, even though we didn’t have the same recess periods.

[@tylerdyke1058]

It a good thing they use the mike and ike as medicine right 👍

[@stephenking5852]

So the cure was a candy placebo?

[@dietotaku]

when the other kids smelled it i just assumed someone ripped a wicked silent-but-deadly fart.

indeed, although in reality lemon-flavored would have been more helpful for the nausea than cherry-flavored. but i supposed more medicine comes in cherry than lemon.

You know if you smell puke you're more likely to puke right? It's not all in the kids heads.

[@sjfrench8034]

That's how they noticed the kids were sick but it wasn't the only symptom. They all smelled the rotten egg smell when the doctor didn't smell it, and they all developed hundred degree fevers

Too bad we didn't try that for all the mild covid cases. Hospitals were flooded with people who were only mildly ill because TV told them they would die from an illness with a 96% recovery rate. People who actually were dying couldn't get care because they had to weed thru the people who just needed tylenol and bedrest.

[@Angelcots]

Placebo Effect. Give them fake drugs and they think they are cured... So they are cured because it was only in their heads to begin with.

[@irmaubaid7636]

there is a psychological reason behind it, in the case of MPI your brain creates stimulus that causes physiological signs such as the guts thing, basically your brain manipulates your body in believing it is sick so you are given a placebo or fake med like these candies to manipulate your brain into thinking you have been given actual meds to fix whatever disease you had. hope this made any sense lol

[@radiobandit6325]

Because it's mass hysteria, if they think it's a cure. The symptoms with go away

[@bingus2929]

it’s hysteria

[@agaith4797]

it was psychosomatic. they thought they were sick, so their minds made their bodies sick. the same way depression can make you feel physical pains.

[@drowningincats3921]

That’s so stupid. Why risk them finding out by using sweet candies in a variety of colors when they could have given them a water pill, sugar pill, or even a baby aspirin? At least they look like the legit meds they are. And you tell kids a vague diagnosis and none of them jump to Google it?

[@SailorMoon998]

Because a tv show TOTALLY meant to be realistic.

[@allisonhunter1063]

Even though its called baby aspirin, aspirin should NEVER be given to ANYONE under the age of 18. It can have life altering and deadly side effects. Honestly, giving them candy is the same thing as a SUGAR pill, which IS a placebo. This whole cure is based on the placebo effect.

Don't know about using actual neds, but when I was in the psych ward, they took my phone.

Girls have to find friends to do with. They cannot be alone. Just like everyone, they're not alone as always. People who thinks about she's the only person is wrong. They can't find their friends by themselves. Thats why they're always thinking about they're alone. You have to find some friends to talk. Even though you feel like you're alone or not talking to your friends, you have to start finding someone to talk. Dont just stand there and did nothing. Always thinking about you're not alone. You have your own best friend, its your decision to make friends with others. When I was 7 years old, i didnt know how to make friends with others. And now, i know how to make friends with others.

Did two different medical dramas both do a mass hysteria story? I remember this better from Chicago med where the girls all had twitches and they thought there was a gas leak and they had to practice for finals for cheerleading or something. I am sad about what happened to New Amsterdam. I think they ruined the show by making the relationship and then quitting and going off to England and then at the last moment on top of everything else she doesn't Even want to marry him. Maybe there will be an explanation. Or maybe it's just oh well who cares. Let's just uproot people's lives and ruin their television shows for no reason at all!

Just about every medical drama will do mass hysteria, just like every medical drama will do a domino surgery. Interesting medical conditions make for good episodes after all. It's also worth noting that both Chicago Med's hysteria episode and this New Amsterdam one aired in October of 2019 (Chicago med on the 2nd and New Amsterdam on the 8th) so the shows did not copy each other.

[@cynthiamartinez8994]

There was even a show called House, it takes place in a plane flight, and everyone thought they had the same illness’s, and everyone got rashes and other symptoms.

It's more than just knowing that God is real. To be saved from your sins you must choose to believe on God's only son Jesus Christ. He is the only way to eternal life and a life of peace here on earth. Our sins separate all of us from God and the only way to have our sins forgiven is through what Jesus did when he died on the cross and rose again. Admit your a sinner, be willing to turn from your sins (repent). and choose to believe on Jesus. He is the Son of the one true God, He died and rose again to pay for your sins. and aks him to forgive your sins and be your savior. He will. "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" Romans 6:23 " For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God not of works lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 It's a free gift. Choose Jesus because NO ONE makes it to heaven on their own and he loves you.
