Firefighters and emergency crews are
at a loss to explain what made at least 16 adults fall ill at a
children's store in Fort Worth, Texas on Saturday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to the Buy Buy Baby store at 4650 Southwest Loop 820 in Fort Worth twice on Saturday.
The patients reported feeling dizzy, headaches and vomiting.
The Fort Worth fire department said
that when the initial call came in, two employees complained they
weren't feeling well and one became nauseous.
The scene was cleared and business resumed. Then, about an hour later, the number who had fallen ill had risen. The store was cleared and fans were brought in to clear the air inside the facility.
A fire department spokesman said carbon monoxide had been ruled out as the cause of the illnesses.
