>>Police say a student may have come into contact with pesticide residue at home. It appears the student may have carried some of the residue to the school. He reported feeling sick Friday morning. He went to the nurse, who called the boy’s mother.
On the way to the hospital, the boy’s mother also reported feeling ill. When they got to Children’s Hospital, four members of the staff who may have also been exposed to the substance were also treated as a precaution. At the time, the hospital called in the hazardous materials team.
Later in the day, a second student at Menomonee Falls High School reported feeling ill. That student is now also being treated at Children’s Hospital.

WAUWATOSA, Wis. -- Six people are being treated at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin for potential exposure to a harmful substance.Milwaukee County Sheriff's spokeswoman Kim Brooks said that two teenage boys reported feeling sick at Menomonee Falls High School early Friday afternoon.
The first boy went to the nurse's office and the nurse called his mother, who picked him up to take him to the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, the boy's mother became ill, Brooks said.
They both complained of a headache and shortness of breath.
A couple of hours later, a second teenager, a friend of the first, was taken to Children's Hospital with similar symptoms.
Brooks said there is no reason to believe the symptoms are contagious and that there is any danger to the public.
The other people being treated are four hospital staff members.
Authorities said they are not certain any harmful substance actually exists, and they are looking for any potential hazardous material.
Brooks said the quarantine of the seven people is precautionary.
The emergency room is open and under normal operations.
The Menomonee Falls Police Department told 12 News they found nothing at Menomonee Falls High School and have cleared the scene.
Police said they they believe it might be a mold problem at the first teenager's house that may be causing the illness.
