I just wanted a Dunkin’ Donut and got Hepatitis A instead

Next time go to Tim Hortons.

The Westchester Health Department says some patrons of a New York doughnut shop may have been exposed to hepatitis A by an infected employee.

Acting Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Archbald says customers may have been exposed if they had any iced drinks between March 28 and April 6 at a combined Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin Robbins shop on Washington Street in Peekskill.

A spokeswoman said the employee may have reached into the ice machine with bare hands while he was infected.

The county is offering free post-exposure treatment.

Get vaccinated before grabbing ice with poop on your hands.
