I was saying that mass hysteria exists, not trying to prove this instance was mass hysteria.
That said, if a third of my class was already going to the hospital because they were "poisoned," I could very easily see myself getting overly worried about my own health to the extent where I would join them in the hospital. And I wouldn't consider myself a hypochondriac by any means.
Hypochondria is a thing. Triggering many with hpochondria is possible. But they won't all be in one class of the same school.
If you have half of all girls in a class hospitalized, it's downright ridiculous to claim hypochondria as the cause.
