Police have launched an investigation after they received a number of reports late on Tuesday evening (15th August) that some people had to go to hospital after they'd been to Proport Indoor Karting.
Officers say they are working with other agencies to see if this is linked to the venue.
Health bosses in the city are asking anyone who has been to the track and is experiencing headaches, dizziness and nausea to call 111 for advice.
Multiple agencies are responding to the incident, with the main investigation being led by the City of Lincoln Council.
The NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) asked anyone who has not been contacted by the police, but who is experiencing headaches, dizziness and nausea following their visit to the track, to call 111 to seek appropriate medical advice.
Clair Raybould, director of system delivery for NHS Lincolnshire ICB, said:
"We are working together across the health and care system to ensure we are able to support the small number affected quickly and safely following reports of people feeling unwell following their visit to the karting centre.
"We would ask anyone experiencing symptoms linked to this to seek medical advice via NHS111.
"We would also like to reassure the public that, unless they have been to the centre on August 15 specifically and are also experiencing symptoms, they do not need to act."
Police urged anyone with information about the incident to contact the force quoting incident 552 of August 15.
