The man, identified as Jarome Quinney, said there were \u201ca whole bunch of roaches\u201d in the cup, Detroit<\/a> TV station WJBK<\/em> reported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

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>\n

When 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>\n

The 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>\n

WJBK<\/em> also contacted Detroit\u2019s health department. Their staff was to investigate the situation.<\/p>\n

According 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":"
