Authorities came prepared with orange  chemical suits and all.

But the suspicious substance that prompted  the evacuation of a northeastern Alabama post office last week turned out to be  KY Intense Arousal gel, U.S. Postal Service officials say.

Officials at the local post office in  Guntersville, Alabama, say the gel leaked from a package and had spread to  between 12 and 15 others Thursday morning.

The discovery sent the office’s staff into a  complete frenzy as the gel leak was initially characterized as a chemical  spill.

Two post office workers were hospitalized as  a precaution after they came into contact with the gel and were not injured,  according to local NBC news affiliate  WAFF.

Officials now say the gel is made with  non-hazardous chemicals that are intended to intensify sensation.

USPS Postal Inspector Tony Robinson says the  packages were addressed to someone in the ‘entertainment industry’ and the  person’s name has not been released, the Associated  Press reported.

Robinson says the postal service will contact  the sender and tell them how to better pack their parcels to prevent future  spills.
