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 filthyand that he had noticed dried mouse/rat droppings in some areas.!

A couple of days later, he started to feel like he was coming down witha 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 atPali-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, hadit not been for a doctor who specifically asked if he had been in a warehouseor exposed to dried rat/mouse droppings at anytime. They said there isa 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 inor ingested if a person does not wear protective gear or fails to washface 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 thetops of canned sodas or foods, and to wipe off pasta packaging, cerealboxes, and so on.

Almost everything you buy in a supermarket was stored in a warehouse atone time or another, and stores themselves often have rodents.

Most of us remember to wash vegetables and fruits but never think of boxesand cans.

The ugly truth is, even the most modern, upper-class, super store has ratsand mice. And their warehouse most assuredly does!

Whenever you buy any canned soft drink, please make sure that you washthe top with running water and soap or, if that is not available, drinkwith a straw.

The investigation of soda cans by the Center for Disease Control in Atlantadiscovered that the tops of soda cans can be encrusted with dried rat'surine, which is so toxic it can be lethal. Canned drinks and other foodstuffsare stored in warehouses and containers that are usually infested withrodents, and then they get transported to retail outlets without beingproperly cleaned.
