This probably isn’t what the commercials meant when they boast of "the Axe effect.”
A school bus carrying 30 children from Florida's Manatee County School District was evacuated on Monday after an “excessive amount of body spray” was released aboard the vehicle. Authorities are investigating the incident, and believe that it was meant to be a prank.

At least 15 students were treated for “mild respiratory irritation” after the spray was discharged on the school bus, which was in Parrish, Fla., at the time, Fox 5 reports. Authorities are reviewing cameras on the bus to determine who released the spray, which has been identified as Axe Body Spray by ABC Action News.
Fortunately for the students, no serious injuries were reported. A second, Axe-body-spray-free bus was called to the scene to transport the students to a nearby high school, where their parents could pick them up.
