Whoops! A Bizarre Letter Caused a Health Shake‑Up at Arlington Base
Picture this: it’s a routine Tuesday at Joint Base Myer‑Henderson Hall, and suddenly a letter steps into the spotlight—literally. Eleven folks in the office gathered around, only to find themselves feeling rough. Three of them ended up at the hospital, but according to Arlington Fire Department, they’re currently stable.
What Went Down?
- The letter was discovered in the Marine Corps section of the base.
- Inside? An envelope with an unknown substance.
- Emergency staff evacuated the building right away to keep everyone out of harm’s way.
The Office Response
Leah Rubalcaba, the base’s spokesperson, said, “Someone opened a letter and everyone at the office started feeling badly.” She didn’t give away whether the substance was a new skincare product or something more sinister—just that the unknown contents triggered a wave of discomfort.
Health Outcomes
The three personnel who were rushed to the hospital are now stable according to social media updates from the fire department. No further details are known about the substance or treatment plans, but the wide-eyed personnel are definitely grateful that the military’s quick responses kept the situation under control.
Bottom Line
In this case, a simple envelope turned into a communal health scare. Thanks to rapid evacuation and medical attention, the situation is now contained. That’s one way to keep an estimated 11 Marines and officials feeling safe—and hopefully, that weird letter stays sealed for a while longer.
