LOS ANGELES -- Health officials say the bacteria that causes Legionnaire's disease was found in the grotto of the Playboy Mansion, a whirlpool hot tub famed for steamy escapades.

Scores of people who attended a fundraiser there in February reported becoming ill afterwards.

Okay, inoculate me with a shot of Bourbon, and I will take my chances. LOL

You can get ill just clicking on this thread.

I can feel it already.

This isn't the first time an indoor hot tub has developed Legionella bacteria and killed someone. Several years ago a hardware store in Roanoke, VA, either Hechingers or Lowes had a hot tub display with heated water in it. The few elderly people who spent extended time near it died. The bacteria was formed from the warm water not being recirculated and super-heated to kill the bacteria. “They”(people like me) recommend heating water that would be used for this purpose or especially in any heath care facility or nursing home to at least 160 degrees before being mixed down to a safe temperature 120 degrees. It's the water vapors or aspirated water particles that deliver the Legionella into the victims lungs where it can cause pneumonia.

I heard from a really good source that at the Playboy Mansion they call Maher “Little Bill”. Lol!

You don't even want to know what the Urban Dictionary gives as another definition to that movie quote.

Nuke The Site From Orbit has been twisted into some disgusting urban saying? How dare they?! Marines, we are leaving..........

Call it a Charlie Foxtrot and every vet here will know what your talking about.

Read that the playboy mansion was filthy with dog poop and pee..absolutely reeked.

Likely some of the stench is from doddering old Hefner himself.

Given the goings-on, I bet there was at least some wood rot after the wood sprouting.

;-P

Gross rotto in the grotto?

[Georgia Girl 2]

That is just plain nasty.

[Young Werther]

There is an antidope!

Take one at bedtime again at 3:00AM and one before breakfast.

Continue this regimen for 6 weeks or until weak in the knees!

[Jack Hydrazine]

I probably don’t. LOL!

[GeronL]

Is that a pool or a Herpes Swamp?

[boop]

A hot tub at 120 degrees would still be really hot, wouldn’t it? I’ve been in some where I could only stand it for a few seconds.

[Mike Darancette]

Pool got Cooties.

[Rebelbase]

I’d O.D. on that dosage.
