Mystery Rash in Georgia, Plus OH and FLA

Last week, it was reported that a mysterious rash had surfaced among students at schools in NE Ohio and residents in Duval County, Florida. Now, there's a report that a mysterious rash among students has also emerged at the Forest Park Middle School in Forest Park, Georgia.

In Ohio and Georgia, school officials sent the students home. Also, it's worth noting that the rashes persisted even after the Ohio schools were sanitized/decontaminated.

In all cases, health department and EPA investigators have taken swipe samples to try and determine if a foreign substance is causing the skin irritation. Results of their investigations are expected soon.
