Firefighters were called out to a possible chemical leak only to discover it was actually just a woman being too liberal with her perfume.

The alarm had been raised after two workers at a Bank of America branch in Texas, reported feeling nauseous and dizzy.

With that, emergency services were dispatched - and a warning was broadcast to other staff that a carbon monoxide, or another chemical leak was suspected. As a result 34 people were taken to hospital complaining of chest pains, head aches and dizziness.

But after hazmat crews and the fire department inspected the building they sound no leak and traced the original complaints to a female co-worker spraying perfume.

It is not known what brand of perfume was being sprayed, but I think it might be Eau' de Overreaction.
