NOW Toronto: GTA woman finds cockroach floating in her Tim Hortons coffee, bug expert warns of health risks

Following Pira’s discovery, University of Manitoba entomology professor Dr. Jason Gibbs warns people about potential sicknesses that can come from cockroaches. 

“Cockroaches can potentially vector several unpleasant gastrointestinal illnesses, like salmonella, E. coli, and staph infections. They come into contact with various unpleasant things like uncooked food and waste, and then they can transfer any associated pathogens and parasites on their travels,” Gibbs told Now Toronto on Monday. 

Pira vomited right after noticing the cockroach, according to CP24.
