Quinney reportedly didn’t have any issues with the first cup of Pepsi he dispensed from the soda fountain at the casino. It was only when he went back for a refill that the issue started.<\/p>\n
I grabbed my old top and then grabbed a new cup, and as soon as I grabbed a new cup, … a whole bunch of roaches were coming out of my cup,\u201d<\/strong> Quinney told the TV station. “I went to the bathroom and threw up. I don\u2019t know if a roach came out or not.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nWhen he returned to the fountain area, he saw three or four visitors drinking from cups.<\/p>\n
“I was like, whoa,\u201d Quinney said. \u201cThat means anyone that was hot or gambling and came for a drink, they most definitely got contaminated.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then told casino employees about the issue, but he felt like he got the runaround, he told the station.<\/p>\n
Casino Responds<\/h2>\n “Out of an abundance of caution, we\u2026contracted with Ecolab who examined the area and they confirmed that there was no additional evidence or infestation concerns,\u201d the casino said in a statement to WJBK<\/em>.<\/p>\nThe casino undertook a \u201cdeep cleaning\u201d in the area of the fountain and other self-service soda stations, Jeff Morris, the casino\u2019s vice president of public affairs and government relations, told the station.<\/strong><\/p>\nWJBK<\/em> also contacted Detroit\u2019s health department. Their staff was to investigate the situation.<\/p>\nAccording to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a> (CDC), roaches can spread bacteria, parasites, and pathogens. Among the bacteria are salmonella, staphylococcus, streptococcus, and hepatitis A.\u00a0The presence of roaches has also been linked to asthma in children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A guest at Hollywood Casino at Greektown in Detroit last Thursday found numerous roaches in a cup after he drank Pepsi from it, according to a report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":288423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,86430],"tags":[82456,81972,86455,87863],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
