The State Department of Public Health is still investigating a strange case of hiccups at the Essex Agricultural and Technical School in Danvers, in which over a dozen students were affected at single time, according to an article in the Salem News.
Roughly 2,600 doctors were contacted by the state in order to gain insight on this odd case which involved between one and two dozen students coming down with vocal tics or hiccups at the agricultural and technical school.
