Cola cans
This incident happened recently in Delhi and we need to be even more
careful everywhere. A woman went boating one Sunday, taking with her
some cans of coke. On Monday she was taken into ICU and on Wednesday
she died.
The autopsy revealed a certain germ Leptospira caused by the can of
coke
from which she had drunk, not using a glass. A test showed that the
can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease
Leptospirosis.
Rat urine contains toxic and deadly substances. It is recommended to
clean the upper part of soda cans before drinking out of them as they
have been
stocked in warehouses and transported straight to the shops without
being
cleaned.
A study in Spain showed that the tops of soda cans are more
contaminated
than public toilets i.e.
full of germs and bacteria. So! to wash them
with water is advised before making any contact with mouth to avoid
any kind of fatal accident.
Remember to always use a glass or a straw and pass this on to everyone
you care about.
