Mystery still surrounds how several Wal-Mart shoppers became ill

Authorities are still trying to figure out what sickened as many as 20 local Wal-Mart customers.
It happened at the Wal-Mart on FM 1960 near Cutten in northwest Houston late Saturday afternoon. Houston police have taken a look at the surveillance video, but did not find any visual evidence of someone releasing something into the air as was first suspected.
Several customers near the pharmacy began getting sick with headaches, coughing, and rashes. Those customers have since been released from area hospitals.
The store has since reopened.

Also -- didn't some other Walmart customers get sick some months ago, I forget where?
