Man Lost His Life From Poisoning for Using the Same Thermos for 10 Years
A man passed away after suffering from poisoning believed to have come from a thermos he had been using daily for ten years.
Recently, a man from Taiwan has lost his life for using the same thermos he had been using daily for ten years. The incident immediately spread like wildfire on social media and elicited comments from the online community.
His health began to decline, and after undergoing a medical checkup, his blood test showed signs of heavy metal poisoning. Doctors then started looking for possible sources of contamination.
After further investigation, they found out that the man had been using the same thermos every day for over a decade.
When experts examined the inside of the thermos, they discovered it had rust and corrosion. Over time, the worn-out container likely released harmful substances into the drinks the man had been consuming.
The poisoning weakened his immune system, and eventually, he developed pneumonia, which led to his death.

Doctors are now reminding people to regularly check the condition of containers like thermoses, especially if they are used daily. While they may seem sturdy, old and damaged thermoses can slowly release toxic substances when the metal inside begins to wear down.
Health professionals recommend replacing thermoses every two to three years, even if they still look fine on the outside. It’s also important to avoid using damaged or rusty containers to prevent long-term exposure to harmful elements.
The incident reminds us that even small things we often overlook, like old kitchenware, can seriously affect our health over time. Regular cleaning, proper maintenance, and timely replacement of items used for food and drink can help keep us safe and healthy in the long run.
