PSA: Check those blankets before you use them
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...72dfa06adb.jpg
Discovered on my amtrak blanket Currently riding the Silver Star from MIA to PHL. It was a bit cold in my roomette last night despite adjusting the thermostat, so when I woke up around midnight, I grabbed my second (still in plastic packaging) wrapped blanket, tore it open, and spread it out. After asking the attendant to re-prep the cabin, I hauled it off the bed this morning to save as a leg warmer, and discovered it was covered in dried brown ... something-or-other (pic attached). I really hope this isn't what it may look like. I rushed to the shower and soaped up, but pretty disgusted none-the-less. The weird thing was, I had just watched this segment with Nicole Byer where she found feces in her Delta blanket on a flight before my vacation. I remember thinking, "wow, that's so weird, and must be super rare!" It's possible that that video segment is like "The Ring," and if you watch it you are cursed. If so, apologies in advance. But, PSA: check any bedding in full light before using it. |
Oh, disgusting! Did you show the roomette attendant? If so, what was the response?

I mentioned it to the attendant when we were at a rest-stop, and he apologized for it. However, he said he didn't know what Amtrak's blanket-cleaning procedures were, and assumed (as I do) that it was outsourced to a third-party. Crickets from Amtrak social media and email inquiries so far.

Please post if you do hear anything back. There is no excuse for exposing you to something that could be a bio hazard. Glad you shared the photo.
