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/rat droppings in some areas. 
A couple of days later, he started to feel like he was coming down with 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 hospital where h e 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/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.
