YES: rusty, leaking or otherwise dodgy cans, bottles, jars or pouches of food and drink are very, very dangerous. These conditions indicate the presence of the Botulism bacterium, which can cause death if left untreated. If you suspect anything dodgy about a can or bottle, etc. of food or drink DO NOT OPEN IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! In fact, if the dodgy can is in a shop or market, it is probably best to inform the local health authority about it. That place is UNSAFE: if some unsuspecting customer buys and opens that can and eats the stuff inside, the disease can easily spread in the air and become a medical emergency, threatening anybody they come into immeadiete contact with. Botulism is spread through canned food and drink, and even through skin contact. Also, avoid any contained food that have been exposed to extremes of temperatures, or wet, damp, or with a foul odour. They are probably teeming with bacterium spores.
