Legionnaires disease?!?

Conventions have convention parties. Some are more fun than others. I have personally attended a few at the Playboy Mansion and those are always great. There are live concerts, celebrities, naked women everywhere, cocktails... The first time I went I made out with a super hot porn star in the grotto. The second time I went I was naked, wearing body paint. My third time I wore a long form-fitting gown.

There was recently another Playboy Mansion party for an LA convention which I've attended in previous years. This year 80 people from the party became sick, some of whom have been diagnosed with Legionnaires' disease. A news report from NY Post suggests that this outbreak may have been caused from the fog machine at the Playboy Mansion.

Based on how it's spread, through inhaling infected water, a fog machine could easily be to blame. Also, the grotto--while wonderful--is a closed-in very humid area.

Many of my friends were at this party so as soon as I heard about it I immediately googled Legionnaire's disease. The symptoms include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, coughing, and fatigue. However, this isn't just a normal flu; people die from it with average fatality rate of 5-30 percent!!

Some who live in LA believe this outbreak is not the fault of the Playboy Mansion. They reported that there is currently a problem with Legionnaires' disease in Southern California. Very scary!
