Swimming pool poisons Kindergarteners
In an ironic twist of fate, kindergarteners learning about water safety were poisoned and taken to the hospital, suffering chlorine poisoning.
WAUSAU, Wis. — A kindergartner hospitalized in critical condition after being exposed to a high level of chlorine at a swimming pool was upgraded to fair condition Saturday, a hospital official said.
A group of more than 40 kindergartners from Lincoln Elementary had difficulty breathing Friday while they were in a swimming pool learning about water safety, said Mary Ellen Marnholtz, spokeswoman for the Wausau School District in northern Wisconsin. The pool was at a nursing home run by North Central Health Care in Wausau.
