My dad got this in an email from someone. Kinda makes you wonder what else you should be washing.

.THIS ALSO COULD HAPPEN WITH ALL BRANDS OF CANNED DRINKS.

Subject:FW: Beware of canned coke drinks


This is Serious!
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, n ot 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.

I wipe them with my shirt, which probably doesn't do ---- other than adding more germs, but the millions and millions of cans that people drink every year (or month) and don't get sick...I'm not going to waste my time cleaning them.

I rarely drink from cans. If they are still in the box then yeah, but I still pore it in a glass. Ones out of the box I don't touch. Like the ones they sell at convenient stores or in the 6 packs. No telling what has gotten on them from sitting in the back in storage.

I don't worry about ---- like this. Life is to short to worry about stupid things
