Could be something like mold in the girls bathroom.

My first guess was that they'd tried some drugs\huffing etc. but they say that's not the case. However, they did say it wasn't ILLEGAL drugs so these gals may have been doing whippets etc. and they can't release the info.

Almost seems like they may know but the girls were doing something that could be embarassing so they are mum on the topic.

It almost sounds like heavy metal poisoning. Did you know that a couple kids got REALLY sick a number of years back after one of them found something like an old bottle of radium or something like it and they glittered their hair or whatever with it?

Then there is the possibility of halloween face painting, made in China.

Boys can get Gardasil, too.

Indeed. Why does the mainstream media always ignore important stories like this?

I live downstate and this is the first I've heard of it. Googling NYS DOH Leroy Girls I have found several local upstate TV news stations which covered it. Bizarre that it never went mainstream within NYS.

or this one:
Fraud is pervasive in NYS and retaliatory against whistleblowers. These parents would be wise to seek medical care from outside sources that will give them an honest assessment and some answers.

It's been approved for boys for some time now. It was just "recommended" in the last few months. It is not mandatory. It is certainly possible that some boys at this school have had it.

It is strange, isn't it? Keep us posted if you hear anything.

That's what I would be doing ASAP. I'd also be nervous if I had a daughter at that school. I know they said they have ruled out Gardasil as a causative agent. But I'd still be curious to know if these 12 girls all got the Gardasil shot and if they received it from the same batch; perhaps through the school?

It has a long history from the Salem Witch Trials, to kids fingering their parents for abuse that never happened, to people supposedly being a part of satanic rituals where the people who did it to them were far away. That's why the State Office of Mental Health was involved. People usually are not consciously aware of it till you confront them with such evidence they cannot refute or deny it. It's a mountain out of a molehill for people who are already paranoid about medical professionals to crow about, that's it.
This was my thinking too. No one who has had experience with middle school girls would be too surprised to find out that these young ladies started doing this for attention and are now to embarrassed to let their parents know what they were doing.
