A 9-year-old student in New Mexico gave fellow students gummies – only to realize later they were not ordinary candies.

Kristi Del Curto, dean of elementary students at Albuquerque School of Excellence, told the Albuquerque Journal the fifth-grader brought the box of gummies she found at home and shared with friends at the school cafeteria one morning. “She thought she was sharing candy, and if you saw the picture on the box, it did look like candy,” Del Curto told the paper. The student later felt dizzy during class and was sent to the school nurse.
