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.
