The Rajneesh not only targeted the city council with salmonella, but attempted to poison as many people as possible in The Dalles (the county seat) by spraying salmonella on the salad bars of local restaurants. This is considered by many to be the first bio-terrorism attack in the United States. Hundreds of people were sickened in their trial run.
