MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
This Is the Most Rat-Infested City in America

No one is going to be bragging about taking the number one spot for the most rat-infested city. The yucky rodents can squeeze or chew their way through just about anything. We know what you’re thinking—you want to stay far, far away from these nasty creatures. The city you’ll want to be farthest from? Chicago.

For the fourth year in a row, Chicago has topped the list of the most rat-infested cities. According to Orkin, the Windy City had the highest number of rodent treatments in both residential and commercial properties from September 2014 to September 2018.

Rodents invade 21 million homes every winter, so even if you live on the West Coast (far away from Chicago), your city probably isn’t completely rat-free. The other rattiest cities that made the top five are Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., and San Francisco.

To keep rats out of your home, make sure to seal off any holes or cracks that could lead indoors, including entryways. Also, be sure to tightly close and properly store all food containers and don’t leave crumbs out. You wouldn’t want to find one of these guys snacking on your leftovers.
 
Man killed by exploding e-cigarette when metal piece sliced artery, report says

A Texas man was killed last week when an e-cigarette exploded sending metal pieces flying.

William Eric Brown, 24 of Forth Worth, died last week, according to KXAS-TV, when a piece of the electronic cigarette cut his left carotid artery.

The medical examiner’s report attributed Brown’s death to a "penetrating trauma from exploding vaporizer pen," KXAS reported.

The accident happened while Brown was sitting in his car outside a shop where he went to buy more vaping products.

He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and his grandmother told the news station he was talking shortly after the incident occurred, but he died several days later when doctors had a hard time removing a three-inch metal shard from his head.

A Florida man died last May, according to The New York Times, after suffering a head wound from an exploding e-cigarette.
