It was probably ergot fungus in the wheat that caused it.

Is this what follows the sweaty, rapidly escalting and increasingly louder chants of "faster! faster!"?

"Scientists at Fort Detrick told him that agents had sprayed LSD into the air and also contaminated "local foot products".

Mr Albarelli said the real "smoking gun" was a White House document sent to members of the Rockefeller Commission formed in 1975 to investigate CIA abuses. It contained the names of a number of French nationals who had been secretly employed by the CIA and made direct reference to the "Pont St. Esprit incident." In its quest to research LSD as an offensive weapon, Mr Albarelli claims, the US army also drugged over 5,700 unwitting American servicemen between 1953 and 1965"

I know you don't like to read, woodshover, but ergot fungus was the reason, now it's deliberate experimentation with LSD on an unknowing society. It's not like the CIA hasn't done that before.

I know the government did things like that, dunderhead, but wheat being infected with ergot fungus happened in the 16th century, and thereabouts. People attributed it to demonic posseion. It wasn't done by somebody putting LSD in the bread in that case.
