Whoever Smelt It, Dealt ItSix men were taken to the hospital yesterday, complaining of nausea, light-headedness and shortness of breath caused by an unusual odor in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange building. The odor was in the telecommunications department on the second floor of the south tower at 30 South Wacker. One trader said that he didn't smell anything on the trading floor and trading at the Merc wasn't disrupted. Investigators took air samples and no toxic chemicals were reported.

Chicagoist always likes to revert to our developmental stages (some say we've never left) so we have to say, "whoever smelt it, dealt it."
