Christian campers hospitalised after adverse reaction to Liquid Ass and deer repellent

More than a dozen campers from Camp Wo-Me-To in Jarrettsville, Maryland, were decontaminated and six taken to a local hospital for treatment after deer repellent and fart spray caused them physical irritation.



The Harford County Hazardous Materials team was called to the Christian-run camp near Rocks State Park after a 911 call at around 10pm on Wednesday, according to a release from Harford County Department of Emergency Services. The initial call was for medical assistance for a 16-year-old boy who was suffering from eye and respiratory irritation.

A short time later, more medical units were dispatched to treat more than 12 patients at the camp suffering from similar symptoms. The Hazmat team determined two products - a deer spray and a product labelled "Liquid Ass" - were sprayed in two different cabins on Camp Wo-Me-To grounds.



According to the product's website, "Liquid Ass is a uniquely stinky butt-crack smell in a bottle." Both sprays are known to cause respiratory and eye irritation, according to the county release.The two cabins were ventilated "to help dissipate the strong odour." The Hazmat team decontaminated more than 12 campers and six were taken to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in Bel Air for evaluation and treatment.

Camp Wo-Me-To? Was this name made up by the same guy who pranked KTVU after the SF plane crash?

P.S.: Man, the Prove-you're-not-a-robot tests are getting persnickety.

I apologise about the captchas, Lurker111, but the last time I turned then off, (unannounced for one day), I had over 200 spam comments.

So unfortunately I had to turn them on again.

"I apologise about the captchas"

No problems. They've just been a bit weird lately.

@Lurker, I solved my problem with the capchas by pushing control, then the scroll wheel to make them larger.

I didn't know you could do that, Barbwire.

Thanks for the tip!
