For a year ago, humans have multiplied health problems. He finally died of pneumonia. Without knowing it, He was poisoned daily with a container widely used worldwide.
“When he asked for help, it was already too late”. A Taiwanese died, in mid-June, after being the victim of lightning pneumonia. After blood tests, doctors confirmed lead intoxication. By investigating the reasons for this exposure to this toxic metal, the doctors learned that he used the same thermos to hydrate and this, daily.
The container strongly damaged
Only, the bottle showed serious signs of wear and the thermos lining began to corrode to such an extent that a layer of rust had formed at the bottom of the container. Despite the visible wear and tear of the thermos, the victim continued to use it for everything, including drinking coffee as well as soft drinks, until metal toxic people accumulate up to a dangerous threshold.
“The thermos may have been used for a long time and, in particular, toxins generated by the presence of soft drinks like Coca-Cola were able to enter the body “, explained the health professionals cited by the Daily Mail. Especially since the victim was content to rinse his gourd in the water …
The medical team that followed the victim has not been able to say since when the man exposed to toxic metal. “When he asked for help, it was already too late,” they said. The man died of pneumonia the year which followed his diagnosis.
In some Asian countries, the thermos sold at low prices are likely to contain lead in the base or the welds and therefore have a high risk of intoxication to its users.
An unlikely drama in France
On the other hand, such dramas are unlikely on European territory. The European Union requires that the materials in contact with foods do not release any harmful substance such as lead, making food poisoning impossible with a gourd, even if it is poorly maintained.
