About 2 or 3 years ago, a situation occured at my high school alma mater
(Beaver Dam, WI. . . .Home of the Golden Beavers--insert joke here) where
several players and fans from the visiting team were overcome by Zamboni
fumes and had to be hospitalized. The last thing that I heard was that some
of the players suffered permanent (lung?) damage and there was a pending
lawsuit. Apparently, these fumes were discriminatory because I don't believe
any of the home fans or players were affected beyond simple nausea. But that
usually happened at Beaver Dam hockey games anyway. :)
