And Eck also told us that there were only two children with symptoms severe enough to warrant a hospital admission. He described both those cases earlier today.
Dr. Cecelio Eck, Pediatrician
"I do know that two were admitted, the two that were admitted actually had huge doses that were taken in, um, one was actually eating it from the day before, felt ill and stayed home and then continued to eat yesterday. So, ended up being admitted and as I explained before the smaller, you are, the tinier you are, body surface and body weight determined the effect of the drug as well as how much was ingested, the other kid that was admitted, the mom told me this morning he's the durrr in the class because he brought it and he spread it, he shared with everybody. So he was admitted but all his friends went to A&E with him. Um, but because they were bigger kids and they didn't eat as much they actually were released yesterday but he actually had to remain."
