#reply-6224879 Friday October 30 11:16 AM EDT Hot sauce lands pupil in hot water DENVER (Reuters) - An 11-year-old has been suspended from school for daring her classmates to taste hot sauce so incendiary paramedics had to be called, a spokeswoman for the school district said Thursday. The unidentified sixth-grader was suspended Wednesday for the rest of the week from Rock Ridge Elementary School in Castle Rock, about 25 miles south of Denver, a spokeswoman for the Douglas County school district said. The girl had dared about a dozen of her friends to sample Dave's Gourmet Total Insanity Sauce, a San Bruno, California, product whose label warns it should be used ''one drop at a time and kept away from eyes, pets, children and people with heart or respiratory problems.'' None of the students was seriously hurt, but paramedics were called when one student who swallowed more than the others started vomiting. The other sixth-graders had a burning sensation around their mouths. ''She didn't force them,'' the spokeswoman said. ''I hope it helps the other children learn about taking dares,'' she added.
