123 Fall Ill After Night In Playboy Hot Tub
April 19, 2011 Last February, Hugh Hefner and his crew held a fundraising event at the notorious Playboy mansion.
And this one resulted in over 100 people reporting pneumonia and flu-like symptoms after the evening’s shindig came to a close.
Two months later, Los Angeles Health officials finally know what may have caused the outbreak: the Legionella bacterium, a potentially lethal bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease. It was located in a sample of water taken from the Playboy’s famed hot tub.
