Health - ALWAYS carefully wash and rinse!
A stock clerk was sent
to clean up a storeroom at their Maui, Hawaii location. 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 days later he
started feeling like he was coming down with a stomach flu, achy
joints, headache and he started throwing up. He went to bed and
never really got up. Within 2 days he was so ill and weak. His
blood sugar count was down to 66 and his face and eyeballs were
yellow. He was rushed to the emergency room at Pali Momi, where
they said he was suffering from massive organ failure. He died
shortly before midnight. None of us would have ever made the connection
between his job and his death, but the doctors 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 Hanta virus) that lives in dried rat and mouse
droppings. Once dried, these droppings are like dust, and can
easily be ingested if a person is not careful to wash their hands
and face thoroughly, or wear rotective gear. An autopsy was conducted
to verify the doctors' suspicions.
This is why it is extremely
important to ALWAYS carefully rinse off the tops of any canned
sodas or foods, and wipe off pasta packaging, cereal boxes, etc.
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 fruit but never think
of boxes and cans. The ugly truth is that 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 not available, drink with a straw.
A brief investigation of soda cans by the Center for Disease Control
in Atlanta discovered that the top of soda cans can be encrusted
with dried rat's urine which is toxic and lethal! Canned drinks
and other food stuffsare stored in warehouses and containers that
are usually infested with rodents and then get transported to
the retail outlets without being properly cleaned.
