Holmby Hills – from www.chicagotribune.com – Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health after 100 people reported becoming sick after attending a fundraiser and party there earlier this month.
The guests were attending an event on Feb. 3 as part of the annual DOMAINfest Global conference.
The 3-day conference took place at the Fairmont Hotel in Santa Monica. On the second night, there was a party at the Sky Bar on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood and on the third night, the finale party took place at the iconic Playboy Mansion.
Within 48 hours after leaving the mansion, scores of attendees reported coming down with symptoms including fever, respiratory problems and violent headaches.
Victims reportedly started tweeting and posting their symptoms on Facebook and that’s when many noticed a trend.
The health department was notified and according to the LA Times, the agency sent out an e-mail on Friday to all the attendees warning them that they had received a cluster of reports of people becoming ill after attending the conference and the Playboy Mansion event.
One man who attended the party at the mansion — New Yorker Elliot J. Silver — told the New York Post that, “It is scary everyone came down with the same thing at the same time. It knocked me on my ass. A lot of people are blaming the Playboy Mansion on the blogs, but you can’t be sure.”
Four Swedish men who attended the event were diagnosed with Legionellosis or pontiac fever, a milder form of Legionnaires’ caused by bacteria that thrives in warm air-conditioning systems, according to the Times.
Now, some victims are blaming a fog machine which was used at the party on Feb 3.
A rep for Playboy told the New York Post that, “There is no truth in the rumor that anyone caught anything at the Playboy Mansion. Nor is there any evidence. None of the Playboy staff became ill, the deejay was in the middle of the fog and she didn’t get ill. We have been contacted by the Health Department and the Playboy Mansion is cooperating fully with the investigation.”
The health department is also investigating the Fairmont Hotel where a party took place on the first night.
DOMAINfest organizers say an estimated 700 people from 30 countries attended the 3-day conference.
