ODESSA, Texas (AP) -- A student who drank a chemical from his high school lab on a dare was recovering in a hospital, but not before a scare.

The student drank the unidentified chemical on a bet at the school, said Nancy Smith, a UMC supervisor.

"We need to find out what it was from the toxicologist," Assistant Principal Ray Lascano said. "All of those materials belonged to one of the chemistry labs."

The student was found last Wednesday in a school hallway, bleeding from the nose and mouth.

The unidentified student, a junior at Odessa High School, was upgraded Monday from critical to satisfactory condition at University Medical Center in Lubbock.

Lascano, who talked with the youth's mother Monday afternoon, said swelling in his throat had receded enough for him to talk. The student was moved from the Lubbock hospital's intensive-care unit to the pediatric unit, he said.

Lascano said Ector County Independent School District officials were still investigating.

I really want to know why the kid did this. It's stupid and immature.

The things people do...

I'd also like to know why he did it as well. I guess you could chalk it up to peer pressure but still that's no excuse. Did he even know what he was drinking?

I mean...really. You would have to be pretty stupid to drink some unidentified chemical on a dare.

I mean...really ****ing stupid.

I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often, considering how many other stupid things people do...

yeah i know, but still, people should have at least an ounce of common sense and know that one shouldn't drink stuff like that.

This just proves me right when I say "there are way too many stupid people in this world."

I've got a friend who is known for touching/tasting wierd things in her bio class. Apparently, she tasted a wierd acidic chemical and also something off of a pig fetus they were dissecting.

Sadly, I'm fairly sure this happens a lot.

Last year at the University of Manitoba, some kid dared a fellow student to mix two chemicals, it exlpoded and nearly damaged the entire lab on one of the floors in the Chemistry Building.

Morons.

I think you answered your own question. It was stupid and immature.

Wow really wow. Altough one shouldn't be surprised at all. I want to know what he did it for. Money? Something else? I hope it was worth it.

Very true.

Sadly I can imagine many of the people at my university doing the same thing if dared.
