Do not ignore this. A family went to picnic and carried with them a few drinks in tin cans. The following day, two family members were admitted to hospital and placed in an Intensive Care Unit. One died on the third day.
Autopsy results concluded that the death was as a result of Leptospirosis.
The virus had stuck to the tin can, as it frequently does, and these are often drunk without the use of glasses/cups. Test results showed that the tins used were infected by way of mice urinating on them. Their dried urine contains Leptospira and this is spread rapidly.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to rinse the parts evenly on all soda cans before drinking from them. Cans are usually stored in warehouses and delivered directly to retail stores without cleaning. A study shows that the top of some uncleaned beverage cans are more contaminated than public toilets. So, clean them thoroughly with water before placing your mouth to them, in order to avoid any mishaps.
Be very careful!
