how can this happen?

my friend was telling me about how her brothers friends sister, became quite seriously brain damaged after simply cutting herself on a tin of dogfood

she is apparently shakes constantly, her eyes roll, and she cannot speak or feed herself etc and she will never recover.

how can this be? is it perhaps something to do with CJD? could it happen that easily? its not like she ate the dog food

or is it that it was direct blood contamination that caused it?

she does not know the full details but i 100% believe her (she was telling me about her own brothers death at the time, so it wasnt any sort of made up gossip etc)

thanks

Eeekk My tooth just cracked in half.

What does that supposed to mean??

"My friend's brother's friend's sister..."

I feel a joke coming on here.

Maybe she suffered blood poisoning from cutting her hand and getting it infected... Septasemia can cause brain damage. I don't know how possible it is. But it could make sense.

This must be exceedingly rare and a form of food poisoning causing encephalitis or meningitis by either bacteria or virus.

Never seen or heard of a case

i suggested that maybe the wound got infected but she said no, the wound itself was not the problem

thanks all

It would be interesting to know the exact reason for it. Makes one even more wary of the washing the recycling garbage practice we're encouraged to do these days. Some of the tins can be very sharp.
