Hugh Hefner's legendary Playboy Mansion is the focus of a Los Angeles County Department of Public Health investigation after reports that dozens of visitors contracted a mysterious respiratory illness after attending a fund-raiser there earlier this month.

The Feb. 3 event at the Westwood mansion was part of the annual DOMAINfest Global conference. This year’s gathering was held the first week of February at the Fairmount Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica.

For the last few days Castello said he had been recovering from a fever, a dry cough, headaches and back spasms. He said his brother, who was mostly outside on the night of the event, did not get sick. Attendees of the fund-raisers have logged onto Facebook to report their illnesses. Many suspect their symptoms are related to Legionellosis, or Pontiac fever— a milder form of Legionnaires’ disease, which is caused by bacteria living in warm air-conditioning systems.

1. Supposedly Hefner has filthy carpets.

Would not surprise me a bit if people are getting sick. There was an earlier story about Playmates speaking of great dirt and filth in the Playboy Mansion.

2. Peroxide Poisoning?

Back in the day Playboy no matter if you liked it or hated it paid for and had some of the very
best writers write 1st rate short stories for them and they funded and pushed for civil rights and
many liberal causes ..... to see Hefner now in his sailor hat is just sad.

4. I don't fault him.

He probably has issues like many people, everyone does.

I figure he has done ok in life. And you are right he has spoken about many issues that are important.

:shrug:

I hope he does ok in his journeys.
