After the past few years, those of us who remain traumatized by the pandemic might start becoming wholly aware of germs and how they spread.

See ahead.

BLECH.

Giphy

An HVACR (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) worker exposed the amount of filth restaurants often allow their ice machines to simply exist in.

"A lot of times people go to a restaurant and get sick, and they think it's food poisoning. Let me tell you—there's a chance it was their ice that got you sick."

People were appalled.

The amount of microbes floating around in this scummy, disgusting water is absolutely unacceptable.

Some of them can even spread E. coli and coliform.

In fact, E. coli was found in 30% of samples taken from 88 establishments in the UK.

The restaurant stays unidentified in the video, but the original poster implies this type of treatment is also common in restaurants across the United States.

"That water is what's making you sick. You can't tell me this water hasn't given people the runs. It's so, so dirty."

Our original poster has a channel full of videos of the most disgusting ice machines he has ever come across.

He strongly advises, in each video, that you order your restaurant beverage without any ice.

MAGA Politicians Get Blunt Factcheck After Trying To Blame Biden For Screwworm Emergency In Texas

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall were called out after blaming a rise in screwworm infections in Texas cattle on former President Joe Biden—even though it was President Donald Trump's administration that cut funding for programs that track the parasite.

Earlier, the Department of Agriculture announced that a case of New World Screwworm—a flesh-eating parasitic fly—has been detected in a three-week-old calf near La Pryor, Texas, about 30 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The discovery marks the parasite's arrival in the U.S. after it spread northward through Central America and Mexico over recent years.
