Microbiology Mystery at the Playboy Mansion!
February 2011
Several days after attending a pool party hosted at the legendary Playboy Mansion, over one hundred guests became ill complaining of respiratory problems, flu-like symptoms, and pneumonia. One guest suspected that a fog machine used indoors at the party may have been involved.
Can you name the warm water loving bacteria that when aerosolized can lead to a flu-like illness and potentially pneumonia?
Hint: "You should have seen what I cysteine in the grotto!"
What’s your guess? Or do you require “on-scene” investigation? It’s on the boards and even Hugh knows this answer now!!!
Your Guess?
