I recently did a study and when they brought me my already nasty sandwich for lunch, i was taking a bit out of it and saw a damn roach..yes a dead roach sitting on my lettuce that was sticking out of my sandwich. I was so grossed out I didnt even want to eat anymore. They tried to get me another sandwich to eat but i refused it. they said they weren't going to sign my clip board until I ate soing. I just had to walk out and let a coordinator know. So make sure u check your sandwich before u take a bite. another girl was attacked over night by bed bugs.

So make sure u check your sandwich before u take a bite. another girl was attacked over night by bed bugs. i've never been there and can't verify the above, use your own judgment. but bedbugs are a serious problem at a study facility. only one person in 4 is sensitive to the bites, so you could get bedbugs and not know it. check around the seams of the mattress and box spring for dark patches of what might look like sand or ink - that's bedbug scat, indicating infestation. the chemicals they use to kill bedbugs are pretty powerful and would probably shut down a clinic for awhile. the other od that works is heat treatment. if you are staying at a clinic or cheap hotel you think might have bedbugs, the best approach is to only bring luggage, clothes etc you dont care about and throw them away when you leave, and skae out and brush off what you are wearing. the other approach is wash and dry your stuff on the hottest setting. more info at www.reddit.com/r/bedbugs .

I've never have had any issues with the food or linens but bug infestations can happen anywhere.

The original post sounds like BS, I have done at least 12 or 15 studies at WCT throughout 2009 to 2012 and I never, ever saw anything like this. The food is not awesome, but never any bugs or roaches; and never saw or heard of any bedbugs or other vermin in the dorms.
WCT keeps a pretty high standard of cleanliness just like any semi-respectable clinic does.
Original poster is probably someone with an agenda, maybe they just got banned or rejected at screening; I'm always leery of single posters.
I mean come on, a roach? How does a food prep person not notice a roach on your sandwich?
