A corporate retreat in Honduras took a harrowing turn for 120 employees of the tech company Plex in early April 2026, according to staff accounts shared by the Wall Street Journal.

Instead, staff endured E. coli infections, military-style drills, sand fleas, and even a porcupine that fell into a hotel shower, prompting medical interventions.
