That's because Gov. Rick Scott accidentally directed people to call a sex chat hotline while giving a speech about Florida's response to the meningitis outbreak , local10news.com reports.

The station reports that Scott meant to direct callers to the Florida Department of Health hotline, but he read the numbers in the wrong order.

People who dialed the 866 number given by Gov. Scott were met with this recording of a female phone sex operator .

The actual number for the Florida Department of Health's meningitis outbreak information hotline is (866) 523-7339.
