A medical FYI

[Guest guest]

Namaste!

 

This incident happened recently in North Texas. A woman went boating

one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke which she put into the

refrigerator of the boat. On Monday she was taken to the hospital and

placed in ICU. She died on Wednesday.

 

The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis. This was traced to

the can of coke she drank from without using a glass. Tests showed

that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease

Leptospirosis.

 

Rat urine contains toxic and deathly substances. It is highly

recommended to thoroughly wash the upper part of soda cans before

drinking out of them. The cans are typically stocked in warehouses and

transported straight to the shops without being cleaned.

 

A study at NYCU showed that the tops of soda cans are more

contaminated than public toilets (i.e).. full of germs and bacteria.

So wash them with water before putting them to the mouth to avoid any

kind of fatal accident.

 

Please forward this message to all the people you care about.

WoW! This is old news.

I've heard about this in the past even checked the regular websites for

information (snopes, truth or fiction),

I personally wouldn't worry about the urine on the outside of the can as to the

coke on the inside!
