Report: Sickened Zoo Workers Encouraged To Hide EmploymentNBC4.com
Workers Driven To Metro To Meet Paramedics
July 2, 2004
WASHINGTON -- Three employees from the National Zoo were reportedly told not to let paramedics know where they worked-- when they got sick last year after exposure to rat poison.
The Washington Post reports that the workers told investigators looking into the deaths of two red pandas that that they got dizzy and nauseated from exposure to rat poison left in the red panda yard.
Workers say they were driven to a Metro station to meet the ambulance, and one employee was told to cover a zoo insignia with a jacket before going to the hospital.
The information comes from a report by the Smithsonian's inspector general.
The zoo says the fire department was in charge of the medical response.
