Chemical Incident at Portland High | Tampa News

A wild chemical incident at Portland’s Benson Polytechnic High School sent emergency crews rushing in after a 15-year-old student swallowed a dangerous mix of chemicals he brought to school. The school was evacuated, over 100 students and staff were checked out on-site, and two staff members were hospitalized as a precaution. Detectives and the Explosive Disposal Unit responded to investigate how the chemicals got there—and whether they were obtained legally or illegally. While the teen didn’t need critical care, the event serves as a chilling reminder: don’t mess with unknown substances—especially not in a school. Recovery wishes for the student.
