NORTH BEND, OREGON — An unknown illness appears to have spread from one woman to four other people in Oregon, including two deputies, and caused them to have hallucinations. <br /> <br />According to KVAL News, the incident began at around 3 a.m. on Wednesday, when a 57-year-old caregiver reported someone vandalizing her car outside the home where she works in North Bend. <br /> <br />A deputy responded her report but found nothing. The caregiver called the police again several hours later. The deputies then suspected the woman might be having hallucinations caused by medical issues. <br /> <br />She was taken to a hospital for examination, but medical personnel were unable to find anything unusual, so she was released. <br /> <br />Shortly after she was released, the two deputies who handled the caregiver began having hallucinations and had to be hospitalized. The woman who was cared by the woman and a hospital employee also began exhibiting symptoms of hallucinations and had to be hospitalized. <br /> <br />The Coos Bay Hazmat Team has not yet found the source of the contamination, but they said the illness appears to be passing through human contact.
