A can of Coke


    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 the
Intensive Care Unit.

    She died on Wednesday.

    The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis. This was traced
to the can of coke she drank from, not using a glass. Tests showed that
the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease
Leptospirosis

    Rat urine contains toxic and deadly substances. It is highly
recommended to thoroughly wash the top part of soda cans before drinking
out of them. The cans are typic ally stocked in warehouses and
transported straight to the shops without being cleane d.

    A study at NYCU showed that the tops of soda cans are more
contaminated than public toilets, full of germs and bacteria. So wash
them with water before putting them to the mouth to avoid any kind of
fatal accident.
