According to media reports, a heartbreaking incident occurred in Malaysia this month. 23-year-old Mohammad Ikma died four days later after drinking unwashed canned beverages and contracted rat urine disease. Ikma and his friends may have been infected after drinking unwashed canned beverages while climbing mountains. His father, Mohammad Azizuddin, said that Ikma went to work as usual in the middle of this month. On the 15th, he began to have diarrhea and vomiting symptoms. He went to a private clinic for treatment. The doctor only prescribed fever medicine and painkillers. On the 17th, his condition worsened. His roommate sent him to the clinic and then transferred him to Malacca General Hospital. On the way to the hospital, Ikma said "I can still hold on", but he lost consciousness soon after. In the end, he died on the evening of the 17th. Doctors said that Ikma was infected with rat urine disease. In just four days, his kidneys, lungs, nervous system and heart were severely damaged.
When searching for relevant information, it can be seen that in 2010, Malaysia had an outbreak of rat urine disease, which claimed 10 lives in just 10 days. Public reports at the time pointed out that a 17-year-old boy contracted the bacteria after playing in the water at the Langben Chazening Waterfall in Kuala Ni, northern Kedah, and later died; another patient was a 30-year-old medical staff member of the Penang Health Department. He fell ill after a picnic at the Ladabayu Waterfall in Baling, southern Kedah, and then unfortunately died.
The Malaysian Ministry of Health has reminded the public, especially those with wounds on their bodies, not to go to high-risk areas such as forests, waterfalls, and lakes with sewage or sludge after rain. If people go to the forest for activities or camping, if they get sick, they must report the details to the doctor so that the doctor can find the cause of the disease and use the right medicine. Rat urine disease is caused by rats or animals in the forest. As long as it is discovered early, there are drugs to treat it.
Netizens lamented: "It is common sense that the mouth of the can is dirty", and reminded that they should clean it in advance or use a straw. One good solution is that sealing foil on the can. If you need any can foil sealing machine, please contact Chunlai Packing Machinery
