6 Treated in Children's Hospital Hazmat Incident

Jenn Rourke

WAUWATOSA - Pesticides sprayed at a teen's home may be to blame for the hazmat situation at Children's Hospital Friday afternoon. The child may have inadvertently sickened others.
Children's Hospital received a patient that was potentially exposed to a harmful substance. Both the mother and her son were potentially exposed and came to the hospital around 12:30 p.m.
The substance has been contained, said a Children's Hospital spokeswoman.
The emergency room was briefly closed but was quickly reopened. Hazmat crews remained on the scene Friday afternoon to investigate.
The patient and his mother may have brought the substance in when they arrived for treatment. They complained of symptoms of headaches and shortness of breath. The teen reportedly called home from school complaining of those symptoms, and when his mother picked him up, she also noticed she had those symptoms.
The teenager, with a backpack possibly containing the hazardous material, goes to Menomonee Falls High School. It was unknown what the product could be inside the backpack.
The mother reported that they may have been exposed to some type of substance. No one is saying what that substance might be. In fact, they’re not sure if there is a substance.
Four staff members were also being quarantined as a precaution after concern that they may have come in contact with the material when the mother and child came in.
Authorities say there is no further threat to the public. However, Journal Sentinel is reporting that a second teen, a friend of the sick teen, went to the office at Menomonee Falls High School at 2:45 complaining of extreme illness as well.
Officials planned to call twenty other high school students to warn them that they may also be at risk for the illness.

I have a feeling that this is another one of those stories that will be buried by the national media.

It will be like it never happened for people who aren’t paying attention and even for us — we may never get the answer of just what exactly happened.

“Family Linked To Hazmat Scare Exposed To Banned Pesticide”
Tom Murray

MENOMONEE FALLS -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Assistant Chief Jeff Hevey told TODAY’S TMJ4 reporter Tom Murray that the family used a pesticide called Chlordane inside the home. The Environmental Protection Agency banned that termite killing chemical in 1988. The EPA says Chlordane can cause dizziness, headaches and convulsions. It can linger in a home for decades. Chlordane is a white powder that becomes a dark, thick liquid when mixed with water.

While the Wauwatosa Fire Deparment confirms Chlordane was used inside the home, the case is still open. Authorities believe the boy may have been exposed to some different, unrelated substance. The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department is now handling the investigation.

“There was some weird powder on his backpack,” said Matt Polleck, a friend of the boy who brought the substance to school. Authorities brought Polleck to Children’s Hospital because he had contact with the powder. Matt also told TODAY’S TMJ4 there’s been a pesticide problem at his friend’s place.

“His brother had been sick a couple weeks ago because the pesticide had got to him, too.”

A Children’s Hospital spokesperson said everyone who came in contact with the substance has been treated and released. She said there is no longer a threat to patients or the community.”
