Acidic soap closes several rest stops

BAY MINETTE, AL — The I-10 West Welcome Center on the Alabama-Florida state line is closed due to an "acidic odor" an employee noted coming from a soap dispenser in the men's restroom, according to WWLP-TV.


Similar instances have been noted at rest stops in Chilton County, Alabama, and in Marion County, Florida, the story stated.


Trucker Lee Godfrey said: "You don't know if it's a truck driver or some crazy person. I mean, why do people snatch kids? People are sick."


Little is known about the substances other than that they are foreign to the ingredients of the bulk soap used in the dispensers, the story noted.


Both the Alabama Emergency Management Agency and the Florida Division of Emergency Management are testing the soaps, the story added.


According to the story, no injuries have been reported so far.
