In 1984, hundreds of people in The Dalles, Oregon became ill with food poisoning. Local, state and federal disease detectives slowly unraveled the medical mystery. Along with a unique strain of bacteria, they discovered a religious cult's bizarre plot to overthrow the government — using germ warfare.

Ah yes, the Rajneeshis. I remember those idiots. I was only a kid when this went down, but I still remember it pretty well. These red-robe wearing idiots basically took over the very small town of Antelope in central OR. My significant other is from The Dalles. It's a small town...I don't know why they would try to terroize that town, unless it was a test run. Why does Oregon always manage to attact the kooks? LOL

We lived across the river in Goldendale at that time. I thought it might be of historic value sometime down the road. We used to go to Spooky's Pizza in The Dalles back then. The Rajneesh sat at a long table and we laughed because all their socks were white gone wrong (turned orange). When we went to the closing down sale, one of the Rajneesh men told us they were being forced out because of persecution by the Christians! We thought that statement very amusing and a very skewed rationale.
