Many are unaware of poisoning caused by re-using plastic bottles.
Some of you maybe in the habit of re-using your disposable mineral water bottles , keeping them in your car or at work. Not a good idea.
This happened in Dubai , when a 12 year old girl died after a long usage (16 months) , as she used to carry the same fancy (painted by herself) bottle to school daily.
