Because, of course, people dying from as yet unexplained causes is always good for a laugh or two.

Again I say, it was not food that caused the deaths but a toxin. None of the seven victims showed all the signs of food poisoning but they all showed exact signs of being poisoned by a airborne toxin. The answer to what toxin and how seven people could have been exposed to it may be exposed tomorrow. If all goes well I will post more information Sunday night.

Good call.

This makes a lot of sense. One has to cover everything carefully with plastic and fumigate any infected rooms. My guess is that someone was not at all careful.

actually, in my tenure at city of berkeley, a homeless shelter that i was involved with, had a major outbreak of bedbugs... it even made national news. Berkeley being berkeley, there was no way that any pesticides were going to be used... so how did we manage to rid the shelter of those pesky varmints?!?!

Heat lamps... a very thorough, precise and costly process of applied heat to all the walls, ceilings and floors... the mattresses were thrown away... period.
