Okay, 1 or 2 Kids, but 19?

The McMinnville, Oregon high school football team had 19 of its members in the hospital with super-elevated creatine kinase in ther systems.  So much, in fact, that their triceps were at risk of rupturing.

Most gym rats nowdays swear by creatine kinase, an enzyme that helps you more quickly replace a phosphate onto ADP, returning it to its highest energy state, ATP.  I can see one or two kids having a creatine OD, but 19?
