The alarming report follows news of similar infestations forcing nurses at some Auckland hospitals to adopt a similar course of action in December - sparking a warning from health authorities against humans wearing the pet collars, which emit toxins, the New Zealand Herald reported today.
Employees at SkyCity Casino were spraying themselves with insect repellent and wearing pet flea collars around their ankles to ward off fleas, according to Unite Union national director Mike Treen.
He said staff had been complaining about infestations on the casino floor "for years" and that although the business had been undertaking a cleaning process, "it doesn't seem to be working".
