On Sunday the 1st of April 2018 , we had a family picnic, some brought with thema a few drinks in cans, like Fanta, coke and monster energy drinks.
However, on Monday, two family members( who joined the picnic) were admitted to hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit space.One died on the following Wednesday.
Autopsy results concluded it hit Leptospirosis. The bacteria, known as LEPTOSPIRA interrogans, is stuck to the tin cans, and were drunk, without the use of glasses, cups or sip straws. Test results showed that the soda tin was infected from mice urine, and that had dried, the mice’ urine containing Leptospirosis.
It is highly recommended to rinse the parts evenly on all soda/beer cans before drinking it. Cans are usually stored in the warehouse and delivered direct to retail stores without cleaning.
A study has shown that the top of all beverage cans are more contaminated than public toilets (full of germs and bacteria.)
So, clean it with water before putting it to your mouth in order to avoid contamination.
Signs and symptoms can range from none to mild such as headaches, muscle pains, and fevers; to severe with bleeding from the lungs or meningitis. If the infection causes the person to turn yellow, have kidney failure and bleeding, it is then known as Weil’s disease. If it also causes bleeding into the lungs then it is known as severe pulmonary hemorrhage syndrome.
It is transmitted by both wild and domestic animals. The most common animals that spread the disease are rodents. It is often transmitted by animal urine or by water or soil containing animal urine coming into contact with breaks in the skin, eyes, mouth, or nose.
Just give those tins a wipe over before placing to your mouth, or pour into a clean glass.

My son Tommy is three years old and a bit of a handful but such a sweet kind boy, my one and only child.
Yesterday after leaving the cinema we walked to the bus station to get the bus home.
Tommy was restless after having sat still in the cinema for so long and having had a pick and mix plus a large orangeade so was running around and burning off some excess energy and sugar high.
As it was Sunday service the buses weren’t as frequent as usual so Tommy was getting bored, he kept running around and knocking into people so I had to tell him off and asked him to stand still.
Tommy stomped off and leant against a double-decker bus which had just pulled up at the bus station.
The bus was parked there for no more than two minutes when it began to pull away.
Tommy fell under the bus and his head was right by the back wheel, luckily I managed to pull him out in the nick of time before he was ran over, his head was literally inches away from the wheel, I was obviously very upset and shaken up but stayed calm for Tommy.
Finally our bus arrived and I complained to the driver about the previous bus nearly killing my boy and explained that the driver should have checked his mirrors before pulling away as he could have killed my little boy.
I was expecting him to be appalled at the drivers actions but I was shocked by the drivers response he said “well maybe you should watch your son and not blame others”.
Now not only was I still in shock I was angry and upset, I sent an email to the bus company and am awaiting a reply how can they blame my child or me the driver should have looked after all it is his job to ensure people are safe.
