> We need to be even more careful everywhere. A woman went boating one
> Sunday, taking with her some cans of coke which she put in the refrigerator
> of the boat. On Monday she was taken into ICU and on Wednesday she died.
>
> The autopsy revealed a certain Leptospirose 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 deathly substances. It is highly recommended
> to wash thoroughly 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 putting it to the mouth to
> avoid any kind of fatal accident.
