At least 14 high school students were hospitalized Tuesday in Illinois after eating gummy bears that may have been laced with another substance.



School officials in the Chicago suburb of Naperville said 14 students were sent to a nearby hospital as a precaution after they began experiencing rapid heart rate, dry mouth, and dizziness.

"This candy made those students both uncomfortable and sick," Naperville North High School said in a statement. "Each student had varying degrees of discomfort and subsequent treatment."

The school said two students remained hospitalized in stable condition, while 11 others had been treated and released.
