Pretty Gross ....
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.
