Facebook Leads To Source Of Illness: Playboy Mansion
Los Angeles health officials first discovered the origin of a respiratory illness outbreak in a Facebook post.
When scores of attendees at a Playboy Mansion function last February came down with a mysterious respiratory illness, Los Angeles health officials scrambled to find its provenance — and found it on Facebook.
DomainFest, an Internet conference which drew over 700 attendees globally earlier this year, took place at various locations throughout the L.A. area, including the famed Playboy Mansion, from February 1 to 3.
Among the people who were at the gatherings, the highest incidence of those stricken with the illness were the revellers who partied at the mansion on the last day of the event.
Health investigators quickly sprung into action to try and track down the type of illness that had affected so many like wildfire.
