LA Investigates Mysterious Playboy Mansion Illness

Must've been something in the air, but dozens of people at a Playboy Mansion fundraiser earlier this month contracted a really ... nasty ... respiratory infection, and LA County public health officials are now investigating, reports the LA Times. Officials are surveying all 700 attendees of a conference called Domainfest global after reports of a rash of problems including pneumonia.

"It is scary everyone came down with the same thing at the same time," says one participant. "It knocked me off my feet for five days," says another, whose brother also attended and was unaffected. "I'm over it now, but I'm still feeling fatigue, which is not a good thing." (More Playboy Mansion stories.)
