Warning: Always Clean the Top of Canned Drinks Before Use

Category: Health |

English Version:
Drinking directly from a canned drink without cleaning it can pose a serious health risk. In a rare but real case in North Texas, a woman died after consuming soda directly from a can that had been contaminated with rodent droppings. The cause was leptospirosis, a bacterial infection transmitted through contact with urine from infected animals.

To stay safe:

Always rinse or wipe the top of a can before drinking.

Use a straw when possible.

Store canned drinks in clean, dry places.
