Question : Hi, about 2 hours ago I had a soft drink from Subway (drank from the can), in my busyness I didn't look at the top of the can, but a few minutes later I noticed numbness and tingling on my lips and tongue.... then I looked at the can.... it was very very filthy, and appeared to either have dirt or mold or who knows what?? Anyway, now the numbness/tingling have essentially gone away, but I feel acid refluxy.... should I be concerned?

Brief Answer:
No!

Detailed Answer:
HI,

There is nothing alarming to be concerned about. The can is always inert and doesn't allow for germs to grow unless they fell from somewhere else. You would be fine and you are definitely fine. Be calm and carry on with your day as planned.

I wish you well and feel free to follow up with me if need be.
