Do not drink from a can

I received this email from my friend this morning. I think the reason why we shouldn't drink from a can is reasonable! So, be careful ya!

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 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 deathly substances.

It's 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 all cans are more contamined than public toilet (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."

...and this is all the email said, so think wisely before you drink from a soda can.
