LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles County health officials say the bacteria that causes Legionnaires' disease was found in a hot tub at the Playboy Mansion where scores of people became ill after attending a fundraiser in February.

Probably not the worst thing lurking there. Rumor has it, if you trace the disease origin, James Caan is Patient Zero.

I can’t imagine the soup brewin’ in the Playboy Mansion’s hot tub. You could probably get pregnant just sitting in it.

Maybe the Playboy Mansion needs a branch office of the CDC.

I am trying unsuccessfully not to have schadenfreude about this.

How gross! And I bet very few surfaces at the mansion are not contaminated with some type of body fluid.
There was a truly revolting article a few months back by an ex-bunny who described the squalor and disgusting things that go on in there. It literally made me sick to my stomach and I wish I hadn’t continued reading lol.

Legionella pneumophila is actually a far more common bug than most people realize. You can find it in water sources pretty much everywhere. Where it becomes a problem is where the water sources in which people come in contact are not properly disinfected. Hot tubs are a perfect breeding ground for L. pneumo, and since most people like their hot tubs set close to our body temperature, it will thrive there. The higher temperatures make disinfection with chlorine more difficult because chlorine is volatile and flashes off at higher temperatures, making it difficult to keep a proper residual in the water.
