The first case "I lost a great friend, Orlando, brilliant lawyer, father of the model Daniela Sarahyba, in an absurd situation. He had a house and a launch in Angra dos Reis. He left with some friends in the launch and he tooks some beer cans in the launch refrigerator. The next day, he was interned in the UTI and he died on Thursday. he was an athlete, he loved the life and he lived it with intensity. The autopsy said that it was been a sudden leptospirose, catched by a beer can that he was drinked without glass and without straw, in the launch. The cans exam confirmed that they was infected with mice's urine; consistently of leptospiras". BE CAREFUL!!!!! ADVICE FOR CAN DRINKS CONSUMERS. Each time that you buy a can drink, wash the top of the can with water and detergent, and if it's possible, use a straw. The second case "A friend of my family died after drink a can soda!. Probably, she didn't clean the top of the can before drinking, and the can was dirty with dry mice's urine, which contains toxic and lethal substances, inclusive leptospiras, which cause the leptospirose". The can drinks and other can food are saved in big wine cellars, which are, generally, infected of rodents....and after that, they are transported to the shops without the owing cleaning.
