A stock clerk was sent to clean up a storeroom in Maui, Hawaii.
When he got back, he was complaining that the storeroom was really filthy
and that he had noticed dried mouse or rat droppings in some areas. A
couple of days later, he started to feel like he was coming down
with a stomach flu, complained of sore joints and headaches, and began to
vomit.
He went to bed and never really got up again. Within two days he
was severely ill and weak. His blood sugar count was down to 66, and
his face and eyeballs were yellow. He was rushed to the emergency at
Pali-Momi, where he was diagnosed to be suffering from massive organ
failure.
He died shortly before midnight.
No one would have made the connection between his job and his
death, had it not been for a doctor who specifically asked if he had been
in a
warehouse or exposed to dried rat or mouse droppings at any time.
They said there is a virus (much like the Hanta virus) that lives in
dried rat and mouse droppings. Once dried, these droppings are like dust
and
can easily be breathed in or ingested if a person does not wear
protective gear or fails to wash face and hands thoroughly.
An autopsy was performed on the clerk to verify the doctor's
suspicions. This is why it is extremely important to ALWAYS carefully
rinse off
the tops of canned sodas or foods, and to wipe off pasta packaging,
cereal boxes, and so on. Almost everything you buy in a supermarket
was stored in a warehouse at one time or another, and stores themselves
often have rodents. Most of us remember to wash vegetables and fruits but
never think of boxes and cans. The ugly truth is, even the most modern,
upper-class, super
store has rats and mice. And their warehouse most assuredly does!
Whenever you buy any canned soft drink, please make sure that you
wash the top with running water and soap or, if that is not available,
drink with a straw.
The investigation of soda cans by the Center for Disease Control in
Atlanta discovered that the tops of soda cans can be encrusted with
dried rat's urine, which is so toxic it can be lethal. Canned drinks and
other foodstuffs are stored in warehouses and containers that are usually
infested with rodents, and then they get transported to retail
outlets without being properly cleaned. |

I rarely drink Cans any more... Mostly because the place I work only sell Bottles! I did by 12 Cans yesterday though in a buy 1 6pack get 1 free, but they were covered in a plastic protective coating so no rats droppings would have managed to get through it  |

This is a story that circulated via email a few years ago. One of the many FWD's that we all see in our mailbox.
I'm not saying it isn't true. I have seen some nasty looking cans, however, these companies do have to meet Federal standards. They are inspected on a regular basis. I'm sure that when this story came out, there was a crackdown on this type of thing. Quite simply, the companies can't afford a story like this getting out. They don't meet the regulations, then they get fined until they fix it. I used to work at a movie theatre. There were quite a few rodents in the building, but there were none where the food was stored. We had a health inspector come in every few months and if something wasn't up to snuff, we did what we had to, to get it fixed ASAP, otherwise the fines come. Big companies don't like fines, and generally fire the folks who were responsible for them.
So, go ahead and clean your cans. Clean the bottles too. Rats don't care where they take a leak. Cleaning them is like cleaning fruit. It just makes sense. |

Funny how the ads are about how to get rid of rats. Not just a coinkadink. |

I wouldn't talk about Teddy Bears too much, Mr. Wizard. People might think of you as odd  . But beer and beer nuts. Manly.
