Outbreak at Playboy Mansion
NY Post ^ | 02/12/2011 | Staff

Can the Playboy Mansion make you ill? Hugh Hefner's iconic bachelor pad is under investigation after more than 80 guests at a conference and party there became sick with a suspected strain of Legionnaires' disease.

Scores of attendees at the Domainfest conference in Santa Monica, held Feb. 1 to 3, came down with symptoms including fever, respiratory infections and violent headaches. Four Swedish guests were diagnosed with Legionellosis or pontiac fever -- a milder form of Legionnaires' caused by bacteria that thrives in warm air-conditioning systems.

This what's just in the air at the Mansion. Think about what's incubating that Grotto.

You’d think it was herpes.

Yeah, that’s what it was, Legionnaires disease. I would think Legionnaires disease would be the least of their worries for diseases.

There was a recent article about a disgruntled bunny that said the mansion was a filthy place and not just morally.

It mentioned how the pets, animal kind, do their business anywhere they want. The carpets were stained and the smell of urine was very apparent.

There was a thread maybe a month or so ago about a former playmate talking about the conditions inside the mansion. Evidently it’s a pretty wretched place, more like a prison than a mansion and very dirty and even rundown. I think it’s more like a stable or kennel now where he boards all these girls young enough to be his grandaughters.

According to this playmate Hef buys enough Viagra these days to keep Pfizer in the black.

They need to bulldoze that place. It’s the only cure.

These people can only mock God for so long. Now we see the reality. The images are gone. Playboy Heff & the bunnies are disease-ridden and filthy.

No surprise.

The Legionella bacteria are found naturally in the environment, usually in water. The bacteria grow best in warm water, like the kind found in hot tubs

One example might be from breathing in the steam from a whirlpool spa that has not been properly cleaned and disinfected.

After this and the recent gossip from former Bunnies about how nasty the conditions are, one would have to ask, what’s NOT incubating there? Ewww...

No kidding, I have trouble believing it was Legionnaires disease, although I’m only a doctor mom :) Legionnaires hides in dirty water in air conditioners filters. I would think his would have been cleaned regularly. As far as disease goes I would also think it would be the least of their worries.

And all the more power to him. You are just jealous. As am I. If you privately ask most 70 yr olds I bet they wish they had a stable full of 20 yr olds!
