Now is it just me or does it sound like they shut down a building and sent three people to the hospital because someone is breaking wind?
A mysterious smell described as similar to raw eggs...
...it has been difficult to detect because for the last few months, the smell occurs periodically and does not last very long.

Just after arriving to work, three DMV employees got sick to their stomach. They were taken to the hospital as a precaution. They have since been treated and released. <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=right border=0><TBODY><TR><TD></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>



Emergency crews had to evacuate the second floor of the building. The second floor is mainly the Title Division and few members of the general public have access to the area.



DMV officials have worked with environmental officers to try to find the source, but so far, it has not been located.



They said it has been difficult to detect because for the last few months, the smell occurs periodically and does not last very long. Tests show that whatever the smell is, it is not toxic.
