According to CNN, the entire building was evacuated, with around 60 employees abandoning their stations – before the pungent package was carefully examined.
It turned out to be a shipment of four Thai durian fruits, which a 50-year-old resident of the town had sent home from a friend in Nuremberg.
"A total of twelve postal workers who complained of nausea had to be taken care of on site", said police in the Bavarian town which is about 141km from Mannheim. And six were taken to the hospital as a precaution.
I daresay they could be suffering from a medical condition called hyperosmia (heightened sense of smell)!
I cannot imagine anybody not liking durians! Their smell is simply heavenly and their taste can send me to ambrosial heights of pure delight!
