On a Sunday a family went to picnic with a few drinks in tin cans. Monday,
two family members were admitted to the hospital and placed in Intensive
Care Unit. He died on Wednesday. Autopsy results concluded it was
Leptospirosis. The virus was... stuck to the tin cans and consumed,
without the use of glasses / cups. Test results showed that the tin was
contaminated because mice urinated on them, and then
it dried. The urine contained Leptospira. I Highly recommend to rinse
the parts evenly on all soda cans before drinking it. Cans are usually
stored in the warehouse and delivered direct to retail stores without
cleaning. A study shows that the top of all beverage cans are more
contaminated than public toilets (full of germs and bacteria.)So, clean
it with water before drinking in order to prevent this from occurring.
