Tainted muffins sicken 18 in Texas

At least 18 employees of a Dallas high school reportedly became ill after consuming muffins suspected of being laced with a drug.

The sickened employees at Lake Highlands High School included three teachers. They were treated at a local hospital after complaining of dizziness, nausea and increased heart rate, The Dallas Morning News reported. No students were affected.

Authorities suspect the muffins in the teachers’ lounge were laced with a street or over-the-counter drug.

A school official said two boxes of muffins were delivered by a man who apparently was recorded on a security video. The man said the sweets were part of an Eagle Scout project, the report said.
