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

[@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.

[@piinkam0r]

I’m scared now I was literally just prescribed this

[@kairinase]

Most candy are medicines anyway... taken uncontrollably, it could become poison!

[@yokotoyama]

​@@piinkam0r Everyone's experience with any med is different. Those are risks, but that doesn't mean that you will have side effects too just because someoneelse has.

[@kristabaker3321]

@@piinkam0r Exactly what yokotoyama said. Not everyone will experience the same side effects or results. My mom and I have taken the same medications and had completely different side effects.

[@jamedlock83]

doubtful. Lisinopril is a blood pressure medication. Nobody can have allergic reactions to blood pressure meds. . .

[@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.

[@XSilver_WaterX]

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.

[@iamaylacat3935]

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 👍

[@tylerdyke1058]

[@stephenking5852]

So the cure was a candy placebo?

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

This is my first time ever seeing this show... ever... I found out about it from my nurse yesterday while in the hospital for a sickle cell crisis and a blood transfusion so here I am. I got home today around 12p.m. Candy does help with nausea though!!!

[@everlasting9292]

Well I wish you the best in your health and candy ventures!!

[@MCeili]

Good luck with your health. I get nauseous from Benlysta so I will try your candy idea on my next infusion day.

[@dietotaku]

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.

[@CreoleMamii91]

I get nauseated really bad with my crisis. I usually do peppermint if the promethazine taking too long. If you don't mind me asking what kind do you have?

[@ellahaack1]

This is my favorite scene from new amsterdam and I kept wondering when I was gonna be able to watch it again

[@rawrboy4321]

My older brother only drinks water and he eats a lot of hydrating foods and both types of diabetes run in our family so sometimes my brother just has to drink soda or eat candy to make himself feel better sometimes candy is the best medicine

[@blackdragon51862]

They just turned candy into a placebo medicine.

[@Me-ws5zt]

In pharmaceutical sense it's called placebo effect. For ones who don't know.

[@joshuahudson2170]

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

[@desertpack9580]

I can't believe there wasn't a gas leak and a lot of kids were barfing there guts out like crazy it's nuts. I actually thought it was something they all ate like someone poisoned there food

[@thomasplouffe1363]

i remember something like this happened in my grade school, 1 person started feeling sick then everyone started feeling like sick like crazy, like we all started throwing up and turning green

[@TheHeliosProject8]

Pretty smart, a placebo to solve a problem that never existed.

[@fbbWaddell]

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.

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.

[@AllisonM90]

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.

[@nickmoyes7075]

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

Why just why is pulsing your guts out just fixed by candy!?

[@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

[@banditiot]

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

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. Starting from the beginning of 12 years old.

[@pamelajaye]

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!

[@PrattlingPyre]

i mean i remember the one from house all those years ago, on the plane

[@ibrahimmuyideen373]

Chicago med, house MD.. Did the same

[@ovinedreamer1451]

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 was actually just mass hysteria and to fix it, Dr. House just told them they all embarrassed themselves by convincing their bodies that they had an illness which doesn’t exist.

psychosomatic illness. basically, you know how the placebo effect is when you feel better because you THINK that you should be feeling better, even if the cure isn't real? well, the opposite can also happen: you feel sick because you THINK you should be feeling sick. the first girl, had started feeling bad, probably cause of general stress, but the rest of the kids "contracted" the symptoms cause they THOUGHT they should get sick too. so when doctors gave them "drugs" that they believed would cure them they got better
